Ron Zacapa 2014 Reserva Limitada

Compared to the baseline Zacapa it is a bit minty and sweeter. Strong heavy caramel taste as well.

Typicka zacapa podle vune. Trochu nasladla chut. 7,5/10

Lækker Rom. Måske lidt dyr i forhold til hvad du får. Men at den smager godt kan man ikke komme udenom.

The first smell is like a zacapa, but without the sweetness. There are herbs in the foreground, I must say I don't prefer this notes but I like the mix of them with the sweetness. It's also close to Zacapa 23.
Both of them need some time, after some minutes the smell transforms and they became nice Zacapas.
I still miss the sweetnes with intensiv caramel notes in this edition, that is very typical for zacapas. I think the 2014 edition is younger than other limited editions. Maybe it's as old as Zacapa 23, but it's less sweet.
The taste reminds me of ron botran 1893. There is an orange peel on the palet. I'm not a big fan of this edition, but if you like a less sweetened Zacapa, go for it.
It's closer to natural rum than other zacapas and the only one rum with more herbs that I know is the 20y Demerara 1998 bottled by Artesanal.

Aroma is typical Zacapa. Taste is full wooden and little sweet. More wooden than other Limited versions. Aftertaste is longer and nice.

Vůně příjemná, čokoláda a vanilka, v chutí je 45% cítit, nasládlost, částečně kakao, závěr až jemná lihovost a zacapovská chuť
Zacapa 2015 lepší, 2019 z těch třech nejchutnější

Dark mahogany color .a nose and taste that you don't get from other rum sorts. The sweet meets the herbs in a beautiful whey. Really pact whit intense flavours

Lookin' where to spend your freebandz?
You are truly into sipping rum neat?
Don't buy 2 bottles of 23 y.o. Solera - Try this one!
This was the best sipping experience not only for me, but also for my girl, my dad, my friends. That bottle gives you something extracool, warming, lilttle floral, sweet, smooth taste expirience.
Clear aroma and perfect blend give this Limitada reserve unique flavor and charming taste.

Well, the Zacapa heritage is there and it is a good rum. But the taste of herbs is a little strange in my taste.

You can definitely taste that they have played around. Good if you need a different rum.
