We have never found the way to each other - its good smelling and tasting but there is something what bothers me. But try it for sure, its not a bad choice.

Pล™edstavรญme si 21 let starรฝ panamskรฝ rum Zafra Master Reserve. Pojem Zafra pochรกzรญ ze ลกpanฤ›lลกtiny a odkazuje na obdobรญ, kdy se sklรญzรญ cukrovรก tล™tina. Na ฤeskรฝch internetovรฝch obchodech se vลกude mลฏลพete doฤรญst, ลพe tento rum โ€œ uvedli na trh lidรฉ, kteล™รญ stรกli u zrodu a vรฝvoje znaฤky Zacapaโ€œ. Zdroj tรฉto informace asi nevystopujeme, ale obchody si tuto informaci houfnฤ› kopรญrujรญ, pล™iฤemลพ se mi nepodaล™ilo ani na zahraniฤnรญch webech zjistit nic, co by tuto informaci potvrdilo. Krom toho, ลพe tato informace je nejspรญลก blud, mรกm z nรญ i dojem klamavรฉ reklamy. Pokud mรกte nฤ›kdo informaci, kterรก by spojitost se Zacapou potvrdila, rรกd svลฏj nรกzor pล™ehodnotรญm. Vรฝrobcem Zafry je firma PILSA (Proveedora Internacional De Licores S. A.) a nejvรฝraznฤ›jลกรญ personou, kterรก za tรญmto rumem skuteฤnฤ› stojรญ, je master blender Francisco โ€œDon Panchoโ€ Fernandez Perez, kterรฝ svou kariรฉru zaฤal na Kubฤ›, kde se v 70. letech vypracoval na ล™editele Kubรกnskรฉho nรกpojovรฉho prลฏmyslu. Ve svรฉ funkci pak pomรกhal ลกkolit master blendery v lihovarech v zemรญch bรฝvalรฉho vรฝchodnรญho bloku, ale i v Kanadฤ› nebo na Madagaskaru. Osvojil si i vรฝrobnรญ postupy pล™i vรฝrobฤ› vodky v Polsku, whisky ve Skotsku a zkuลกenosti zรญskรกval i z evropskรฝch vinaล™stvรญ. Na poฤรกtku 90. let pak pลฏsobil jako master blender ve firmฤ› Varela Hermanos, coลพ je producent znรกmรฉho rumu Abuelo. Po tรฉto bohatรฉ ฤtyล™icetiletรฉ kariรฉล™e, ve vฤ›ku jiลพ dลฏchodovรฉm, vytvoล™il Zafru Master Reserve, jako svลฏj doposud poslednรญ vรฝznamnรฝ poฤin.

Pล™i testovรกnรญ jsem pล™รญmo srovnรกval s mรฝm oblรญbencem rovnฤ›ลพ z Panamy, Abuelem 12y.
Barva:
Alkohol: 40 %
Pลฏvod: Panama
Aroma: Nesmรญrnฤ› hlubokรก vลฏnฤ›, kde pล™evlรกdรก kรกva s karamelem, a k nim se pล™idรกvajรญ i cedrovรฉ tรณny, znรกmรฉ z Abuela 12y. Abuelo je v aroma naladฤ›no vรฝลก, Zafra je nejmรฉnฤ› o 2 oktรกvy nรญลพ, mocnฤ›jลกรญ a hล™ejivฤ›jลกรญ. Skvฤ›lรก vลฏnฤ›. (93 b)
Chuลฅ: Na jazyku neฤekanฤ› nachรกzรญm jen minimรกlnรญ sladkost, svou suchostรญ mฤ› Zafra pล™ekvapila. Dojem je tฤ›ลพkรฝ a pล™itom jemnรฝ. V dochuti se ozve opฤ›t cedr, vรฝbornฤ›, to se mi lรญbรญ a zรกroveลˆ to body vytรกhlo, jinak by to za 89b. nebylo. Abuelo 12y je pro mฤ› chuลฅovฤ› znatelnฤ› lepลกรญ a bohatลกรญ. (89 b)
Body: 91
Shrnutรญ: V pล™รญmรฉm testu Zafra dokรกzala porazit Abuelo o jeden bod ve vลฏni, ovลกem v chuti zaostala, a ani skvฤ›lรก dochuลฅ Zafry s tรญm uลพ nic nenadฤ›lala. Pล™esto je to vรฝbornรฝ rum, ostatnฤ› jako vลกechny ฤtyล™i, kterรฉ jsem v minisรฉriii testoval. Aลฅ uลพ se jednalo o nevลกednรญ a originรกlnรญ Arcane Extratoma, Zayu, kterรก byla skvฤ›le vyvรกลพenรก, chuลฅovฤ› nejlepลกรญ z celรฉ ฤtveล™ice pak Atlantico Private Cask, nebo nejlรฉpe vonรญcรญ Zafra Master Reserve, ani s jednรญm neลกlรกpnete vedle a zรกleลพรญ na tom, co preferujete.

I love this rum, but just wonder if it might not be even better if it hadn't spent quite so long in wood. The complexity and dryness from the oak is very appealing, and makes a welcome change to my preferred full rich, sweet fruit. The oak does tend to dominate a little too much, but the rum is smooth and complex if lacking a little length on the finish. But overall has a sophistication that most rums just don't have.

Really great taste for the price! We donโ€™t have it in Quebec so I bought one in Florida and do not regret! My go-to

excellent flavor, complex with some whisky influence and very rich. Has some sweetness, but not too much, a nice balance between too dry and too sweet. To me its the best spanish style rum I've tried, I like it a bit better than Pasador de Oro Gran Reserve and Santa Teresa 1796, but just by a small margin. I'd like to rate it 8.5 if I could, but since I like it so much I decided to give it a 9 because an 8 wouldn't be fair.

This is a nice, well finished rum that is an excellent sipper. Great lead for an evening of sipping with friends.

I lucked out here seasonally. The deep vanilla and orange and vanilla notes speak to the autumn stateside. ยกViva Zafra!

I have to go along with most others and give this a solid 9 . aroma for me was some raisins, vanilla. Either way I found it more aromatic than el pasador De oro gran reserve, which I really love. Really smooth taste. little burn and a tad sweet but certainly not in any way offensive. Extremely well balanced. The price did burn a little as it came to just over $60 with tax. So for $15 less I can get the el pasador de oro gran reserve or plantation XO. This rum is awesome but because of the price it will be a once in a while splurge. Drop the price $20 it it would be my go to rum every time.
