One of the best rums I tasted. Smooth, deep, creamy, sweet, Solera, long taste. You can’t compare this with the XO, which is really different. But the Royal pricy. If you like this rum, you might also want to try Ron Esclavo XO.
Zacapa Royal consists of rums aged in American whiskey barrels, delicate sherry and fine Pedro Ximénez wines. Their blend is aged in precious barrels made from the wood of the trees of the four French forests called Le Bois du Roy™ (Allier, Nevers, Vosges and Tronçais), which used to belong to the royal family and have been protected since the 13th century, when the King of France himself imposed strict restrictions on logging. These are blends of rums 8-30 years old bottled at 45% ABV.
Bottle: Truly luxurious with a beautiful gold cap packaged in a casket.
Colour: Dark mahogany.
Nose: There's quite a lot of alcohol at first, which surprised me for such an old and luxurious rum. It mellows out after a while, but I recommend to let the rum sit for at least 20 minutes. In the aroma I recognized caramel, raisins, cocoa, coffee, nuts, tobacco and tan oak.
Taste: Dense, creamy and strong. It is a medium sweet rum. The taste is again caramel, vanilla, dark chocolate, pepper and a slight bitterness of oak.
Aftertaste: Long.
Finish: In my opinion, after summing up the aroma and taste, this is a rather snobby affair where the price, in my opinion, does not reflect what you get from this rum. The taste difference between XO and Royal is very small, but the price is 3 times that.

More butterscotch then I’ve ever had in a nose, sweet, fruity, floral - it’s like a bouquet. Explosion of taste like very few others, maybe similar to Ambassador but more. Hazelnuts come through the most, some cinnamon and nutmeg, perfect balance of sweet and spice - neither too much. Long, beautiful finish. Complex yet easily sippable.
A bit stronger that the basic Zacapa, a very pleasant and balanced taste with full body and a bit of sweetness. The price is very steep but the content is delicious
It’s an easy drink. Perfect for a good and chill glass with a friend

One of the smoothest rums I’ve ever had. Great mello taste from start to finish.
