Ron Zacapa Solera Centenario Ambar
Anyone who wants an easy everyday Zacapa without the usual sugar bomb will get along with this one. Members describe vanilla, a little oak, mild spice and a citrus lift, drinking drier and less sweet than you'd expect from the range. A short bit of alcohol heat shows up early from the younger age, then settles. Pleasant and round, if not deep.
The community says- Less sweet
- Vanilla and oak
- But: Little depth

Review by Fiete Heinrich
Im Zuge eines Blind Tastings verkostet, jedoch als einziger Kandidat meiner Sammlung quasi als Kontrollgruppe entnommen. In der Nase lange sehr dünn. Es dauert, bis ich überhaupt spezifische Aromen wahrnehme. Der Rum hat frische Aromen von Apfel und Birne; relativ Bourbon-typisch, erinnert aber auch etwas an Obstbände. Ich habe relativ schnell den Zacapa im Verdacht, obwohl ich ihn länger nicht probiert habe. Im Mund ziemlich adstringent. Es dominiert Bourbon mit grünem Apfel, dazu leicht Honig und Backpulver. Der Alkohol könnte besser eingebunden sein. Ich korrigiere meine Wertung etwas nach oben, nachdem ich den Rum insgesamt angenehm, wenn auch etwas dünn und austauschbar finde.
Review by Heffernan
Nice everyday rum, easy to drink is the motto here. Spicy, vanilla and a little woody, rather dry, hardly sweet, a little fruit. Pleasant spiciness, but not tangy. Simply round, mild. Nothing extraordinary, but still quite tasty. I didn't pay 30 euros for the liter bottle in Duty Free, so the price/performance ratio is great. Of course, it doesn't come close to the 23-year-old, but at a reasonable price you can confidently strike.
Review by Chrischi78
Angenehm überraschend für einen Zacapa. Wird nicht vom Zucker erschlagen, insgesamt sogar recht rund aber natürlich ohne grossen Tiefgang. Für das PLV ok, lässt sich gut pur trinken. Gab halt auch nichts besseres in diesem Steakhaus 😉!
Review by Daniel
Fruity, fresh, similar to the Limitada. This impression is confirmed on the palate by the citrus component. Its shorter storage time is noticeable due to its clear alcohol presence at the beginning, but this quickly fades.
Review by Portman
Pleasantly lightly sweetened for a Zacapa. Nice vanilla, a little wood and slightly spicy. A good all-rounder for the price!
Review by Dirk E.
Ein wenig enttäuscht, da bleib ich dich lieber beim 23er von Zacapa.

Simple rum, bit boring, rum for the masses.
