Ron Zacapa XO

First of all.. The bottle.. I´m a sucker for nice bottles.. This one tingles my nervs.. It beautiful..

Nose : Nothing at all to complain about.. Nice dark tone to the smell.

Taste : The thickness of the taste.. It totally fills your mouth almost like drinking sirup..

Finish : A long and strong finish all the tones fade away apart from each other and opens up in your mouth.. Perfection in a bottle..

I must say that i was surpriced when i tried this one out.. Since my first Zacapa was the awful Solera 23 i didn´t have any hopes up.. But a friend of mine had a few bottles and he told me to buy one cheap.. If i did´t like it i could always sample the rest of the bottle he told me.. Well.. One zip and i realised that i would never sample a drop from that bottle and hide it when we had guests.. ;)

Aroma de banana, bem suave, desce macio, o álcool não se faz tão presente, deixando o amadeirado se sobressair

This rum is something very special. A little sweeter than my usual tastes, but the rich notes of raisins give it a fruity complexity. The presentation is top notch and this is a huge step up from the 23 which I find nice, but too sweet and not worth the price. You are better to pay the extra for the xo and get something truly special.

Color is warm and inviting. The taste is great meat but really opens up with a little ice. Will keep this one as a staple in the bar.

Hard to imagine something a whole lot better than this. Sipped neat it's incredibly smooth with wonderful mix of spices, vanilla, and caramel. The lingering aftertaste is just delightful. Definitely what I personally enjoy. Pairs wonderfully with chocolate or a nice madura cigar.

I compared this to 4 other great aged rums. While not the best, it wasn’t far behind it. The smooth flavor of this rum keeps bringing me back for more.
You can’t go wrong with it. Drink up my friends!!

This is one of the rare cases when I rate something a 10. This is an exquisite rum. The color is a nice, rich dark brown. The bottle itself is quite unique, it's a round bottle with a golden neck and a really nice cork with a wooden top. The smell itself is enough to know that it's incredibly smooth - which it is. The smell gives off a sweet, but not too sweet note, which is exactly how I like it. The taste is a wonderful smooth sweet rich bundle of goodness, it really fills your mouth. You can taste some wooden or natural notes, but quite faintly. Overall, an amazing rum.

Oak and molasses become an elixir of the Gods!!!!!

Le meilleur rhum que j'ai bu jusqu'ici. Saveurs et aromes sont complexes. Melange de miel, caramel, vanille et fut de chêne Il ressemble beaucoup au 23 solera. Je le conseille a tous.

Amazing rum, super taste. Totally love it. Must buy for all rum lovers
