Tasted at Laka Lono on 1/31/22. Pours copper in color. Caramel, vanilla and toffee to the aroma. Big flavors of treacle and almonds. Lots of nut flavors. Mild peppery finish.

Nice flavour. Vanilla, dark chocolate and a little bit spicy. Not so smooth, but the alcohol is not so strong at first sip.

Even if its obvious, how solera system works, I can still find the taste of old wood what is great.
Could me more dense, maybe a bit more sweet. Great rum anyways.

The smell is very nice, wood, cocoa, leather and orange marmalade, the taste is smooth, starts with demerara sugar sweetness, turns into a spicy mixture of wood, leather, dark chocolate, and a touch of dried fruits, the aftertaste is spicy, with chocolate, wood, tobacco and citrus fruits. The spicy aftertaste makes up for a bit thin taste. Apparently, there is only little or none sugar added. Overall it is a reasonable sipper for a reasonable price.

About 5 to 10 years ago, I found a bottle of this rum in the old teardrop shape. Thinking that the liquor store would soon get more than just that one bottle, I did similar to what Tomy from Romania suggested years later with his bottle of the same shape. Yes, it was so smooth that I almost consumed it in one day like he said could easily happen, but it actually took two days for this fool to down. At that time, I liked it better than Eldorado 12, which is now my third rated rum. My top two were only found recently thanks to this website.
When I got my new bottle home, I was actually afraid to open it for quite a while. Did Zacapa change the formula? Was it totally different than what I remembered? I cautiously poured a snifter and let it breathe for about twenty minutes. The aroma is of alcohol and caramel. On the tongue, it is a slightly peppered burn with caramel. Going down the pipe is nothing nasty, but nothing memorable. This new version cannot even make it into my top ten thanks to the parent company Zacapa.
When I read many of the other reviews before trying to find it, I was wondering if this is the same rum that I remembered. Unfortunately, it is not! This bottle was also about $10 cheaper than that old bottle, which should have tipped me off right away. I just had to solve the mystery. It's tough being tenacious.
After letting the new bottle with only one snifter removed sit for a few hours, I poured another snifter and let it breathe for a while outside on a breezy day. The burn was gone. However it smelled almost like nothing and tasted almost like flavored water. Flavors going down the pipe are minimal. So once the burn is allowed to breathe off, there is really nothing there to encourage me from buying another bottle. Nothing offensive, but nothing to get excited about either. I would suggest this one to lovers of Don Q Gran Anejo since they are similar.
