Collecting bottles of Zacapa to enjoy them in good times
Zatim nejlepsi zacapa co jsem pil. Plna a dlouho trvajici chut. 10/10
Säger inget mer om den mer än att den är kunglig. Sen att Zacapa XO är snäppet godare, men båda får en 10:a
Full body with long aftertaste! tested against XO and it is huge difference and bottle is super exclusive. Highly priced (250 Euros) but still must have👍🏻 the best rum for me so far. Zacapa deliver strongly with this bottle.
Zacapa royal är min bästa zacapa upplevelse. Mycket kakao och väldigt smooth. Eftersmaken sitter i munnen drygt 30 min efteråt, sätter sig i tandköttet. Helt fantastiskt god. Uppgraderar betyget till en 10a men har inte testat den igen efter provningen jag var på så får återkomma. Men upplevelsen då var att denna är den bästa rom jag testat hittills och behöver en 10a för att komma till min första plats i hyllan.
A very complex rum; rich, oak, vanella, chocolate, very smooth even at the 80 proof.
After dinner, or lunch, with orange, dark chocolate
Marvelous
Without many words, it's a super rum, starting with a very colorful presentation. The rum presents a splendid mahogany color, which when served has sweet, fruity, vanilla and minimally wood aromas. When you try it you realize the great balance obtained, also from the striking density that we can perceive, where we find citrus and dry fruit flavors, wood, vanilla and sweet.
Sin muchas palabras es un super ron, empezando por la presentación muy vistosa. El ron presenta un color caoba esplendido, el cual al servirlo presenta aromas dulces, frutados, vainilla y mínimamente madera. Cuando lo pruebas te das cuenta del gran equilibrio obtenido, también de la llamativa densidad que podemos percibir, donde encontramos sabores frutados cítricos y secos, madera, vainilla y dulce.
El mejor de los mejores.... no hay mas....
Tomalo y todo queda entre la realeza....
Only the best is good enough!

Pleasure starting with aroma, goes over complex taste and ending in long aftertaste. But the differences vs XO you can tell only in direct comparison. Royal is a bit sweeter and a bit more complex with longer aftertaste. But the differences are so small, that it can't justify the double (or even more) price.
Anyway you should try the sample...
As all Zacapa's more on the sweet side, but if thats what you are looking for then this is worth of having even with this price.
Colour: very nice, powerful amber
Nose: Light smoky notes, wood, chocolate, vanilla
Taste: harmonious, long finish, chocolate, complex sweetness, but also sharpness
The Zacapa Royal is a consistently successful composition.
I tasted against the zacapa XO. The zacapa Royal won the tasting.
Farbe: sehr schönes, kräftiges Bernstein
Nase: Leichte Rauchnote, Holz, Schokolade, Vanille
Geschmack: harmonisch, langer Abgang, Schokolade, komplexe Süsse, aber auch Schärfe
Der Zacapa Royal ist eine durchweg gelungene Komposition.
Ich habe ihn gegen den Zacapa XO geschmeckt.
Der Royal ist der klare Sieger.
Sammenlignet med Zacapa XO er denne hakket bedre, men ikke helt verdt prisforskjellen.
...due to the fact I have bought the bottle, yet not have tried.
Will review my posts once I have.
Cheers :)
Výsledný rum má krásně plnou vůni i chuť čokolády, pečeného kokosu a mandlí. Závěr je pak správné dlouhý, nasládlý, exotický. Vážně královská lahev.
Taste 8,1/10. This is similar to Zacapa Centenario XO but less sweet (i would like little more sweetness, this is the limit for me) & same time little smoother-cleaner taste (less additions) than XO, shophisticaded and little bit more aged - intense little dry...overall some better quality than Centenario XO. But same time less sweet from what i like so for me this is not as good as XO in taste... Any way for this price dont buy it... waste your money. The taste is powerful with nice complexity & smell....
Enjoyed two glasses of Ron Zacapa Royal in Auckland NZ. Very nice high end bottle and label design. Dark mahogany color. Sweet notes mixed with plenty of oak from French Oak Cask maturation and a massive amount of vanilla to the nose and palate when neat sipped. Mild burn at the end being so sweet. Just ever so slightly smoother than Zacapa XO with 4 times the price.
Excelente cuerpo y sabor. Notas de madera y café con caramelo. Recomiendo tomarlo sin hielo y no muy frío. Un poco sobrevalorado en costo
Hvis denne ikke var så dyr, ville jeg give den højere rating, men hvis man sammenligner med Ron Zacapa Centenario XO, så er det en skuffende oplevelse. Ville til enhver tid vælge tre Centenario frem for en Royal. Eftersmagen forsvinder hurtigt.
A bit like the Zacapa 23 but sharper with an oily roundness.
Pineapple, banana and fudge.
Good stuff!
virgin cane honey. half dry.
it is a 30 years solera rum. it was finished in french limousin oak.
the first thing I mentioned is the low amount of sugar. and thats great! I think less then 15g/l (its more dry then the limitada 13)
vanilla. cherry. peach. caramel. leather. almond. bitterness. woody. very long aftertaste. not a crowd pleaser. for a sweetend rum it is very good. much too expensive.
if you like sweet rums, thats not for you!
8/10.
A bit hard - ok nice rum but too expensive. The XO is a fine alternative.
Very nice taste indeed. But the price on this rum is a joke. Drank rum that taste better than this for a much better price. Rum for hothots who drives BMWS and has no friends. The bottle shape suits old ladies.
