One member calls it the best Zacapa they've tried — "more powerful and had a deeper taste" than the 23 and the Royal. Expect chocolate fudge, vanilla, raisin and caramel, all soft and very sweet, with no alcohol bite at 40%. A dessert-style sipper that beginners take to easily, though a couple of tasters find it one-note in the sweet direction.

How does Ron Zacapa Centenario XO Solera (2. Edition) taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Smooth, very sweet chocolate-vanilla dessert sipper Most find it the roundest, smoothest Zacapa — chocolate, vanilla and caramel, easy to drink. A few call it heavily sugared and a bit one-dimensional.

Smoother in the mouth than the 23 Zacapa 👍🏻

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 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 Herr K
I was allowed to taste this Zacapa for the first time many years ago at the airport and was immediately thrilled. Since then, the XO Centenario has accompanied me and delights me again and again. For me, the most balanced and round Zacapa, although I didn't remember it as sweet and woody. Still, it is always fun.
Review by Thomas
Well, thanks to Zacapa for holding on until rum became fashionable. The XO is a nice rum that everyone, especially beginners, likes. No outstanding peaks, rather somewhat one-dimensional in the sweet direction.

Read full review ›It's very much in the sweet and smooth camp - heavily sugared (and possibly other tricks going on as well) It is better than the 23 overall but it probably isn't worth double the money. Nor is it something I would go out and buy again. It's just not my...
