I love this Ron Zacapa. This is the true Zacapa without the addition Solera system. No comparison to the rum marketed today by Diagio.

5.9/10

This was the start of my adult rum journey and many bottles has passed by, but the rating has going down, down, down. It’s much too sweet for me as I have been growing into pure rum. It’s sweet, fruity and round with scents and flavors of vanilla, toffee and chocolate.

Very similar to other Zacapas. Fruity and pretty sweet with a characteristic spiciness and a wooden accent.

This bottlekill also dates back to my early days. Unfortunately, my tastes have changed a little. But I certainly don't regret drinking it back then. I can still recommend it as a good starter rum. There's hardly anyone who hasn't had it in their glass as an inexperienced rum drinker.
