Ron Zacapa XO

Not much to say here except the flavor here is rich and bold, leaves a very satisfying taste at the back of your palate. We killed 2 bottles of this on my patio.

This is a smooth Nice og good finish rum. The best Zacapa ive ever tasted. Never had the chance of the 30 year Old one. But this is very Nice. Do not mix it in drinks. A Big waste.

Nose is fairly sweet. Taste is similar to bourbon, but sweet. Super smooth. I enjoyed it even more over time.

Smooth tasty rum, with chocolate, vanilla and a cognac finish.
A clear favorite !

Need to taste again for proper review. Moving from Distiller taste 2/2017

Great presentation. Beautiful bottle. Nose is strong with vanilla and oak. Beautiful color. Clean opening taste with good viscosity and mouth feel. No burn at all. Fills the pallet. Slightly sweet. It evolves quickly with nutmeg, almond and butter as it slides across the tongue. Nice long finish. Not overly complex but distinctly tasteful. No bite. Very smooth. Best Guatemalan rum I have tried. I find Guatemalan runs to be dusty with too much oak and burnt molasses. This one shines.

I have also tested the “23” and the “Royal”, but I like this one best. It’s more powerful and has a deeper taste than the others.
The sweetness is well balanced and it’s very smooth and len. You can recognise vanilla, dried fruit as well as different spices.

Caramel and cognac cask in aroma, cinnamon and cask flavour, you need spread the rum on the whole tongue, warming soft finish

Tra i rum più conosciuti dai meno "esperti". Vai sul sicuro con l'XO, al palato è melassoso. Buono

This rum has a very nice smell of oak, cognac, and caramel, and the taste follows the nose. It's nice, but to me it's not quite on par with some of other top rums I've had as I think the cognac aging is a bit much and takes away from the rum slightly. But if you enjoy cognac, then perhaps you'll like this even more than I did.
