Zafra Master Reserve 30-Year

Colour: nice, dark
Nose: Too much alcohol in it, smells a bit like 90 proof.
Taste: okish, the persistency of strong unrefined alcohol is still present
Finish: good
Final score: 6,5 out of 10
Comments: at a whopping 175 GBP a bottle is not really what you would expect. Read other comments and got excited so purchase was made! Disappointed! Very strong smell of unrefined alcohol is persistent in this rum. Taste does not convince. Can’t possibly believe this is a 30 y.o. Rum.

It’s a bit pricey though you can’t go wrong with this bottle.

This is a truly a decadent pleasure - long savoured caramel aftertaste, take your time with this. Bought at auction and don’t regret it.

This is a delicious sipper. Very complex but not "funky". The right amount of oak and smooth as silk. You pay for perfection, but it was worth it.

Nice color and smell is very rich. Sugary sweet caramel and vanilla. Flavor has a lot of complexity, I'm not experienced enough to hit it all but definitely a caramel sweet molasses with vanilla and spice. If it wasn't 90 a bottle and rare limited at that, I'd drink it all the time.

Alas, I'm very slowly working my way through this one. I believe in enjoying good things. Sure, I could shelf this for a long time and be happy on cheaper stuff, and in between I sure do, but I definitely am enjoying this limited treat. Certainly should be enjoyed with a good friend that can appreciate a good complex treat like this one.

This is one of the finest rums I have sipped. Wonderful nose with spiced and fruits all blended in and little to no alcohol hit. On the tongue you get the fruit first with almost a bourbon taste in the middle with a great spice finish. Limited or no burn this is a great rum that will never see a mixer at my bar.

Thanks to my wife, a great Christmas present I am just now opening and will keep for special occasions.

It is an expensive Rum, but very good for sure, I really enjoyed. Very smooth, perfect taste. One of the sweeter Rums.

Good quality but a little over priced. Nice presentation.

De notas dulces en nariz y en boca mucha canela y vainilla de color matizado este ron en una expresión mas compleja pero no lo venden en panamá siendo embotellado para mercados internacionales. Que lástima

I really enjoyed this rum. It clings to the glass as you swirl it. It is sweet without being syrupy, spicy without too much bite. It has a nice smooth flavor.
