Ron Zacapa Royal

7/10 2017 Stockholm Paladar
Tasted the Royal once before on a Zacapa tasting. Really liked it then. But that was after tasting the whole Zacapa sortiment leading up to the Royal. Anyways, tried it now again as a dessert sipper. N I must say that I was disappointed. There was a to strong fruit taste for me. Its good the don't get me wrong. But not my flavour.

Selve rommen smager udemærket, men blev virkelig skuffet ift hvad jeg havde forventet. Har ikke tidligere givet karakter ud fra prisen, men bliver nød til at tage det med i denne vurdering. Der findes langt bedre rom derude ift pris/kvalitet

Only the best is good enough!
Only the best is good enough!

Jeg blev noget skuffet over denne rom med et prisskilt på 2200 kr. Jeg vil til enhver tid vælge XO over Royal til en tredjedel af prisen.

A bit like the Zacapa 23 but sharper with an oily roundness.
Pineapple, banana and fudge.
Good stuff!

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.
