No added sugar in this one 0-4g.

It's a very light and young zacapa rum. The taste is very bright, it's also not as sweet as other zacapas. There is too much vanilla flavour with young wood in the taste. I miss the typical sweet caramel flavors. Zacapa works only in combination with caramel and dark fruit flavors.

It's the same problem with the same 2014 special edition. Too much herbs and not enough caramel flavors and we get a wird special edition.
The taste starts very light with vanilla, herbs and wood. Some light sweetness is there like burned sugar but no caramel. At the end I get some tannins from the wood.
I'm disappointed, not that rich and tasty like XO, it goes in another direction. Would rate it with 64 points.

Smell: vanilla, herbs, dry fruits, some tropical fruits, white oak, some caramel
Taste: vanilla, white oak, herbs, some fruits, burned sugar, spice, slightly orange peel (bitterness)

Sweetness: 1.5/5
Fruit: 2/5
Spice: 3/5
Mildness: 3/5
Value (33€): 2/5

No se puede comparar con el solera 23 años pero está bien para un par de copas

Surprenant comme rhum à déguster pour un 12 ans, on goûte un peu plus son côté alcoolisé.

Very good to mix, especially with a coke. Good color and good flavor.

Very light color, flavor smell sweetness etc
It’s nice for sipping. Little bit of heat.
It’s so mild I just get a little caramel & vanilla. Just barely some whisky barrel.
Finished clean, goes without much lingering

Buen aroma, aterciopelado al paladar, sabores marcado. Color ámbar casi miel. Un ron para tomarlo todos los días

Definitely not a sipping rum, but an outstanding rum for cocktails adds a lot of character to the drinks, cuba libre, dark & stormy…. REALLY GOOD!!!

Bit alcoholic taste capared to other 10+ aged rums. Good choice to start your well aged rum career.
