Ron Zacapa XO

Great presentation. Beautiful bottle. Nose is strong with vanilla and oak. Beautiful color. Clean opening taste with good viscosity and mouth feel. No burn at all. Fills the pallet. Slightly sweet. It evolves quickly with nutmeg, almond and butter as it slides across the tongue. Nice long finish. Not overly complex but distinctly tasteful. No bite. Very smooth. Best Guatemalan rum I have tried. I find Guatemalan runs to be dusty with too much oak and burnt molasses. This one shines.

Desde el aroma, un ron para los todos sentidos, no te cansas de mirarlo y olerlo en la copa, verlo caer por las paredes, casi parece que tomarlo es un pecado, pero cuando lo saboreas estás en la Gloria. Para ocasiones especiales.

Need to taste again for proper review. Moving from Distiller taste 2/2017

Frankly I don't know how this is scoring so high. Key lime pie tastes great but it is not rum.
Maybe because it was aged in Sherrie and Cognac barrels it has a perfume back round that is distinct and very good but not rum-ish. This reinvention attempt is good but not what I ordered.
I like Key Lime pie, and they brought me Coconut pie. Good pie but not what I ordered.

Definitely better then the 23 Solero
However I’m still mixing this

Lekkere rum met zoete vanille tonen en een lekker houtbarrel smaak. Wel een iets te bittere nasmaak naar mijn mening

Tasty little drop much dryer than I expected. Nice heat and depth of flavours but not really my style.

This rum is something very special. A little sweeter than my usual tastes, but the rich notes of raisins give it a fruity complexity. The presentation is top notch and this is a huge step up from the 23 which I find nice, but too sweet and not worth the price. You are better to pay the extra for the xo and get something truly special.

Aroma de banana, bem suave, desce macio, o álcool não se faz tão presente, deixando o amadeirado se sobressair
