Famille Ricci Zodiac 2023 Bélier
Sipped neat, this is a Jamaica-Panama blend where high-ester Hampden DOK leads with pineapple, mango and solvent, and the Panama share rounds it off with vanilla and a caramelised, pastry sweetness. Several tasters call the marriage clever, the DOK "tamed" but still dominant. The recurring gripe: at 59.3% the alcohol isn't fully tucked in, so it reads hot.
The community says- Ripe pineapple, mango
- Clever DOK-Panama blend
- Keep in mind: Alcohol not fully integrated

Ripe-pineapple DOK funk softened by sweet Panama Most love this Ricci blend — DOK funk with pineapple and mango softened by sweeter Panama. The one repeated catch is that the alcohol feels a touch under-integrated at full strength.

Nice blend from the Ricci family. Ester is the standout feature for me here. But you can also recognize pineapple and mango, as well as marzipan and vanilla. On the nose, there’s also some pastry/cookies.

Sooo mild and sweet taste .. Hampden, legendarni jamajska destilerka, ktera krome rumu produkuje take alkohol do parfemu. Ve vsech rumech z teto destilerky ucitite divoke estery, po kterych cely vas organizmus nasakne vuni zluteho tropickeho ovoce - manga, papaji, anansu, broskvi. Jeden z rumu, ktere "must try before die"
Review by RumTaTa
Nose: the DOK dominates but the character of the rum from Panama is also noticeable. Overall, however, quite restrained. Palate: Panama is clearly more present here and not much of the DOK is noticeable. The alcohol is not optimally integrated. In the finish, the fruitiness of the Hampden comes through again very nicely. Nice interplay between the two rums! A very successful blend. Unfortunately, the alcohol is quite present, otherwise more than 9 points would be possible.
Review by Jakob
Successful blend - the DOK is naturally tamed, but gets a successful counterpoint through the sweet notes of the Spanish style, which unlike the sherry finishes does without the heavy fruit notes. Great addition to the high-ester spectrum, a little insider tip.
Review by Mirco
Blind, of course, a Hampden with high esters. Nevertheless, the beautiful sweetness of the Panama comes through, which softens the doc somewhat. But the typical ester notes in the foreground with pineapple and mango are great.
Review by Morgan Garet
Tasted with RF2023, so tasting incomplete. Very aromatic right from the nose! The DOK is clearly present, with ripe tropical fruit solvents, and the panama adds a touch of caramelized pastry. Can't wait to taste it and take the time to appreciate it.
Review by Johannes
An exciting, really good blend! The DOK is already dominant, but somewhat tamed by the Panama.
Review by Jussi Piirainen
Blend of rums from Jamaica and Panama. On the nose: Jamaican rum notes. Almost like a sherry cask finish notes. Pineapple, Mango and vanilla. Panama rum softens the palate, there is not much of those ester and glue notes. Taste: Pineapple, mango notes dominate the profile. Quite alcoholic. Then you get more sweeter notes like vanilla notes first and pastry notes. Finish: Roasted notes, pineapple notes and its sweet in the beginning. Then it changes to slightly herbal and it has a little bit of black tea notes in the end. I think its a good blend. Jamaican rum dominates but Panama softens the palate and brings good notes to the mix aswell.
Review by Jacques etdom
Excellent. Panama and hampden blend very well together. Notes of candied fruit, chocolate, very long on red fruit. A hell of a job. Top-notch. After a few months open, the aromas really melt into each other. Ricci really are the kings of blends!

Ripe pineapple
Review by John Coffey
Nice blend from the Ricci family.. the Dok gives a great nose .. the Panama adds softness and an interesting roasted side.. only downside is an alcohol not superbly integrated, a shame otherwise it would be perfect .. good value for money.
Review by maxwell1664
A real treat. I find notes of licorice, which I'm not a fan of, but I love it.
Review by Anubis_CZ
Proper rum – strong, fruity and wildly Jamaican. Smells of the tropics, taste full of chocolate and spices, all wrapped up in 59%. Not a rum for everyday sipping, more for moments when you want something really special but if I had a whole bottle I’d punish it right away 🤣
