Very good sipping rum. Smooth and delicious, as of now I would put it 4th as a favourite behind Plantation XO 20th Anniversary, Diplomático Reserve Exclusiva and Brugal Leyenda. Love the bottle, nice addition on my bar shelve.

I bought this a while back and enjoyed the entire bottle but not enough to make me run out and buy it again.

barva výrazně žlutá
- vůně velmi příjemná, jemně ovocná, koření, až zlehka kakaová
- chuť zlehka nasládlá, koření, pepř, nasládlé ovoce
příjemný na celovečerní ochutnávání

Толстенное дно бутылки, крупная надёжная пробка, а сделать стильную этикетку и кольеретку желания не было. В аромате лак, табак, варенье, травы, спиртуозность и не хватает оригинальности. Вкус удачно подобран мастерами купажа: маслянистый сладкий терпкий и при этом лёгкий! В послевкусии возникает горечь и приторность гнетёт немного. В чистом виде не доставляет долгого удовольствия, а вот с чаем просто божественно!

Epic, tasty, spicy, amazing, juicy, flavorful and most importantly very well priced. Definitely a strong 10.

Nice sweeter Ron, taste is perfect for me. I like it and it is nice to drink like almond a little together with something sweet like caramel or vanilla.

This one has been at the top of my wish list for a long time since it was the best candidate for earning my rating of 8 or higher. When I first started out with the new bottle, I rated it as a low 8 because the WOW factor just was not there. It was just so smooth that it also became somewhat forgettable. It can be consumed neat or on the rocks, but definitely not wasted as a mixer. And as others have said, this one is just too easy to consume the entire bottle in one day (which I used as a pain killer). On the next morning, the 16 gpl of added sugar reared it's ugly head with a slight headache.
I also had preconceived ideas of this one being created to compete with the ever popular Plantation XO 20th Anniversary. Both are created in the Caribbean and then aged in cognac casks in France. Well, Guatemalan rums and Barbados rums are two entirely different things. This one also bears no resemblance to any of the rums from Ron Zacapa just because both come from the same country. This one is not even close to the Plantation version, which is more readily available back at home. I had to get this one in Las Vegas.

Vůně: ostřejší nez Grand reserva, je cítit koňak, osobně jsem měl problém rozpoznat vůni
Chuť: Ovocnější chuť po citrusech, ke konci sladší kde pak dosáhla na celkoe7,5
Barva: světlejší zlatavá
rozhodně je lepší grand reserva než XO

This was so smooth, also another bottle that didn't last long, even the non rum drinkers loved it.

According to various internet sources this is a blend of various Guatemalan rums aged anywhere from 6 to 15 years in oak barrels then are aged some more (cannot determine the time frame) in Cognac casks in France.
An interesting backstory.
However not much information given on the rather plain label.
Let's continue...
The hue of the rum is a rich dark amber...a brownish amber. Dark caramel perhaps. It has a very appealing odor (again, my weak point since I am unable to distinguish odors well...I just say it's a nice odor or not).
Nice legs as I swirl it in my snifter.
The flavor is quite intriguing. Definitely a smooth sipping rum. A little oiliness causes it to stick to the tongue well allowing the flavors to settle. It has some pepperiness to it but does not have much of a tannin bitterness although the oak notes are clearly present albeit subtle. A nice caramel and vanilla undertones. No real burn. Instead there is a nice warmth that builds for a bit in the back of the throat and then fades ever so slowly. If the info I found is true and the rum is finished in France in Cognac casks then I understand why it has this subtle sweetness that almost borders on sugaring but plausibly isn't.
Clearly a sipping rum with a nice complexity to it. Excellent rum for the price IF you can find it.
