Ron Zacapa EL ALMA The Soul Cask (Heavenly Cask Collection)
Most tasters land it as a slightly drier, woodier take on the Solera 23 — and several actually prefer it for that. Expect burnt caramel, vanilla, figs and dried fruit, with roasted walnut and bitter almond, plus a burnt-orange note that runs through it. One reviewer sums it up honestly: easy and pleasant, but complexity "is a foreign word." A few find it thin at 40%.
The community says- Burnt caramel, vanilla
- Toasted oak notes
- Added sugar

How does Ron Zacapa EL ALMA The Soul Cask (Heavenly Cask Collection) taste?
Aggregated from 49 community reviews.
Woodier, less sweet Zacapa 23 sipper Well-liked as the best of the Heavenly Cask trio, a touch less sweet and more toasted than the 23. Fans love the balance; others find it simple and light on power.

The taste offers roasted walnuts, burnt caramel and apricots, as well as a bitter almond taste that dominates the palate.

Meine erste Flasche Zacapa hab ich am Flughafen in Fort de France gekauft. 😂 Seitdem diese geleert war, hatte ich keinen mehr im Glas. Mal schauen. Reichlich Karamell, Vanille, Fass und entsprechende Würze. Getrocknete Früchte. Insgesamt wird das Profil von verbrannter Orangenschale dominiert. Die Nase ist ausgewogen, Komplexität ist ein Fremdwort. Selbst großzügig eingeschenkt vermag er im 20s Blenders Glas keine Kraft zu entwickeln. Im Mund dann sehr einfach. Karamell, Süsse (in Maßen), getrocknete Früchte, Holz und Würze. Kurzer Abgang. Ein gefälliger, einfacher Rum. Schmeckt gut, süß und süffig. Nicht mehr und nicht weniger.
Review by Portman
I actually like this better than the Solera 23 because it's not quite as sweet. Overall, it's a bit woodier, almondy, and dark caramel. Fig, vanilla, and a very light white pepper on the finish.

#4423 Whisky & Rom Festival 2023 28.10.2023 Notes. Sweet and fruity with caramel and wood. Nice balance between wood and spices. Light tobacco note on the finish.
Review by tastingfieber
An incredibly round and balanced rum, which brings the post-maturation in heavily charred ex-bourbon casks to the fore. The fruit is skillfully restrained on the palate and is crowned by a long-lasting finish.
Review by Jan Havelka
Second bottle of heavenly cask edition. This one adds the wooden flavor to the zacapa rum. It is in nosing, taste and strong in finish. Accompanied by caramel, tropical fruits and vanila
