Review by Stefan Persson
This is the Zacapa I like best. I think it’s better than both the “23” and the “Royal”. It’s more powerful and had a deeper taste. It’s also well balanced, smooth and len. Nose and palate is also sweet, fruity, spicy and woody.
Review by BTHHo 🥃
Smoother in the mouth than the 23 Zacapa 👍🏻
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This rum is pretty complex and very well balanced. The difference between Zacapa Solera 23 and this on is that it was matured for two more years!
Review by Maxime Fortier
On the nose, there are scents of melted chocolate, sweet wood and coating fruit. You know it's pastry/dessert from the start, but it's not too liqueur-like either. On the palate, it's smooth, soft, even very soft, no attack here, nor any sensation of alcohol present. I really get the sensation of melt, caramel, dark chocolate fudge style. It's pleasant, elegant, yes, but I'm not sure it's for me, sweetened gently, not liquorish but honeyed chocolate, I don't know what I'm dealing with, so particular is the ageing and it doesn't give the true age of this rum.
Review by Thomas
Nunja, danke an Zacapa solange durchgehalten zu haben bis Rum in Mode gekommen ist. Der XO ist ein netter Rum, der jedem und vor allen auch Einsteigern gefällt. Keine ausgefallenen Spitzen, dafür eher etwas eindimensional in die süße Richtung.
