Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

It is a little overpriced but I enjoy it mixed with Coke. It is a sweet Dark rum.

Have to taste it again coz the bottle I tasted it from had a problem (tasted in a bar).

Funny nose for a rum. Nose of gin (genepi aromas). Berries with hints of mocha and caramel.

Short medium finish dominated by alcohol vapors and spiced flavors.

This is a great rum. Very smooth. I think I actually prefer this to the Zacapa XO.

I' belive a blind test between the this and the XO would bring surprising results. But I still prferr the XO for a very special moment. And this rum for a nice end of the day.

rather one of my favorites due to the sweeter character, but i wonder if it's from addition of sugars as the sweetness doesn't seem to come from natural distilled liquid affected by oak aging.

still a commendable flavor profile.

it was even better when the price was lesser than now days as it seems Diageo has increased prices too frequently to make this less attractive for my wallet/palate preference ratio.

in conclusion, if you care not for price history and prefer sweeter profile, a good choice.

if you are very experienced and well versed in rum, steer clear!
if you are new to rum experience, do invest for tasting!

I know loads of people rave about this but I literally couldn't drink this neat.

Lots of chemicals on the nose and follows through into the taste.

I thought the bottle would wallow on my creaking shelves forever until I tried it with ginger beer (always old Jamaica) and it redeemed itself a lot.

Still not as good a dark n stormy as elements 8 spiced rum and a bit expensive for a mixer in my mind.

Would've been a 3 without my ginger beer discovery.

Doux comme du bonbon, facile a boire pour débutant.

Un rum ricco e dolce con aroma delicato e molto gradevole in bocca.
Un buon inizio...
