7.3/10

Bought two bottles of this rum two years ago. Hard to find this bottling today. I think it’s an OK rum from the Spanish school and much better than Zacapa from the same producer. The nose is fruity, woody, sweet and a little spicy with scents of dried fruit, oak, caramel and vanilla. At the palate it’s complex, balanced, sweet, fruity, woody and a little spicy with flavors of caramel, dried fruit, orange, oak and vanilla. The finish is medium long with the flavors from the palate persisting.

8.3/10

Enjoyed this one as it arrived yesterday and despite it being in the cheap end of the spectrum it wa a nice surprise. A nice solera from 5-18 years in the blend. A bit sweet but not too sweet. Leave it in the glass to rest to get the entire experience. Comes off a little bit dry but nicely balanced with the sweet. For the price tag a pretty good rum.

Avg Rating 7.4/10 over 230 Rums

Guatemala makes soft, sweet, dessert-like rum, and it does it high in the volcanic highlands where the thin, cool air slows maturation. Its base is virgin sugar cane honey, a concentrated first-press cane syrup rather than molasses, and its calling card is the Sistema Solera. One name towers over the country: Ron Zacapa.
