Las Cabras Zafra Master Reserve 21
Caramel, vanilla and cedar wood up front, with toffee, orange peel and a bit of nut underneath. Classic Panama Spanish style: soft, lightly sweetened, and easy to drink. Several tasters call it a great everyday sipper and a step toward less-sweet rum, though a few find the nose promises more than the palate delivers and call it a touch one-dimensional.
The community says- Smooth and easy
- Caramel-vanilla warmth
- Tastes sweetened

How does Las Cabras Zafra Master Reserve 21 taste?
Aggregated from 135 community reviews.
Soft, lightly sweet Panama easy sipper Well-balanced, gently sweet Panama sipper most people enjoy neat. The catch: it's smooth but a bit reduced, and a few feel the flavor thins out and leans too sweet.

One of few Spanish styled Ron’s that I still like. Panama seems to be my favorite country of origin when it comes to sweet Spanish rum. It’s complex, not too sweet, smooth, has rich flavors and a very nice finish.

Dejlig sød med masser af vanilje smag, nødder
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
A wonderful balanced nose a bit woody with vanilla. Leave it for 15 minutes and the flavours come running at you even without putting your nose to the glass. The palate shows a well rounded full body rum with an extremely long finish. Leaving the glass after you finish will reveal a wonderful woody/spice nose.
Review by Anatoli Schlee
Wie gut ein Rum ist realisiert man oft erst wenn er alle ist. Das ist vermutlich der beste easy sipper den ich je hatte. Easy war auch der Preis. 50EUR für einen 21yo hab ich damals gezahlt. Geilomat. Aber die Zeiten sind vorbei. Spanisher Stil im besten Sinne. Der Zafra war nicht wirklich trocken aber auch kein Dessertrum. Ja auch mein Geschmack hat sich seit damals weiter entwickelt aber der Zafra darf jederzeit wieder in mein Regal zurückkehren. PS: das war meine Bewertung vor 4 Jahren:"Unlike many other Spanish style Ron's this one is surprisingly dry. And its only purpose to please the drinker without challenging him. With it's price of about 50EUR for 70cl it perfectly qualifies as random good times rum without being sorry moneywise. Unless you are within the top of those 0,01 % rum snobs who won't appreciate diluted rums you can't be disappointed."
Review by cigares
A woody/vanilla nose with caramel, but more complex aromas appear such as orange zest and walnut. The palate is unsurprisingly smooth, with cedar wood, vanilla and brown sugar, with toffee, butter and walnut in the background. The finish is rather long for this type of rum, with cedar and orange lingering on the palate. A very nice surprise in terms of taste but also quality/price. Despite the sugar, the aromas are very present, although the whole is a little one-dimensional.
Review by Stan Hardy
Liebe auf den zweiten Blick. Ein toller Rum für Leute, die im Begriff sind, auf ungesüßten Rum umzusteigen. Nur leicht gesüßt. Unaufdringlich, mittel komplex und sehr ausgewogen. Die 21 Jahre wage ich zu bezweifeln und der Preis ist auch happig. Rum toll, PLV naja
Review by Timo Groeger
Day trip Baltrum September 2024. Sturm-Eck pub. Here is a Zafra Master. Great nose, which is rather sweet and consists of caramel, vanilla and wood. Toffee is then added on the palate. Slightly sweet, but still within limits.
Review by Tropical Island Vibes
One of my favorite runs. Smooth and a hint of bourbon on the taste. I’m not a fan of bourbon but it works perfectly here! Not overpowering and top rum for the price point.
Review by Joachim Guger
The best in the hotel bar. Typical Panama. Dried fruit and tobacco. Nose promises more than is delivered in the mouth. Too sweet. Still better than the other sugared epigones like Zacapa or Diplomatico.
Review by René Müller
A little flat in both aroma and taste. Good spicy aftertaste.
Review by Johannes
Not bad at all! Beautiful Panama notes, unfortunately overall too reduced and perhaps minimally sweetened.
Review by J.V.
Toller Süßrum, ohne übertrieben süß zu sein. Eine natürliche Vanille Note vereint mit Toffee, Holz und Röstaromen. Erinnert sehr stark an den Origenes 8 nur viel Erwachsener und vor allem milder. Hier kratzt nichts und trotzdem gibt es leichte Pfeffer und Muskat Noten. Einfach Top!!!

Light Cointreau that loses to the back.

Review by hugo148
Tres jolie nez sucré mais trop peu intense. A la dégustation c’est bon mais pas non plus dingue … un peut trop dilué… finale tres courte. Je ne suis pas tres fan de se type de rhum.
Review by Oliver
Sehr leckerer Spanier Nicht ganz so süß Etwas kantiger als der Zafra 30
