The stunning special release from Zacapa. This Guatemalan classic won Gold at the International Rum Festival, and won the Platinum award in the Super-Premium category in 2002. This is an incredible extra old rum, which picks up awards wherever it goes.
Calves leather, brown sugar, molasses, bourbon, hints of cedar, pipe tobacco, fruit, chocolate and brandy butter.
Absolutely amazing intensity with waves of soft brown sugar, toffee, spicy oak, cedar and pipe tobacco.
Long, warming finish in sweet, soft spices.
Yes it's sweet, but it's like drinking liquid gold. Not as spicy as other styles, but rich and balanced
Excellent
My son was gifted a bottle of this, and we gave it a go tonight. Wow! Rich and nuanced on the nose and palate, and a warm, soft finish. Who knew rum could be this wonderful?! Lovely holiday gift.
The best rum I have ever drunk, period.
Not really like any run I've had before. The comments below about the aging are incorrect, it is aged in a variety of barrels. With each sip you can taste every one of them individually, one after another. Each different taste complimenting the rum in a different way. Quite a journey!
