Loved by Portman, BTHHo 🥃 & 15 more
A newcomer-friendly Zacapa with less sweetness and more toasted oak than the standard 23. Expect caramel, vanilla, dried fruits, roasted nuts and light spice. RumX members enjoy it as an easy, comfy sipper.

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.
Review by Joachim Guger
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 BTHHo 🥃
The taste offers roasted walnuts, burnt caramel and apricots, as well as a bitter almond taste that dominates the palate.

#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

Podobne jak 23y, sladke, ale dobre hutne
