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
- But: Alcohol not fully integrated

How does Famille Ricci Zodiac 2023 Bélier taste?
Aggregated from 27 community reviews.
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.

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 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 Jakob
Successful blend - the DOK is of course tamed, but gets a successful counterpoint by the sweet notes of the Spanish style, which unlike the sherry finishes without the heavy fruit notes. Great addition to the high-ester spectrum, little insider tip.
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!
Review by John Coffey
Beau blend de la famille ricci.. le dok donne un super nez .. le panama redonne de la douceur et un côté torréfié intéressant..seul hic un alcool paq superbement intégré dommage sinon il serait parfait .. bon rapport qualité prix
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 maxwell1664
A real treat. I find notes of licorice, which I'm not a fan of, but I love it.
