Ron Zacapa Edicion Negra

Love this rum. It has a nice fruity complexity with some really nice charred under tones, very subtle smokeyness. I think it would be interesting to see what could be done with a longer ageing and how it would taste cask if it was stronger like 50 Abv.

Good balance of sugar and alcohol, caramel and vanilla flavors. Smooth

Had this one during the corona lockdown with my Friends. Must say this is not the best Zacapa I had. To me it's a bit to harsh. The smokey taste is to overwhelming and it has an aftertaste which I don't like. The taste has more oak to it than the original 23 years Zacapa and it doesn't work for me! Something personal!

très équilibré avec ces notes de noisettes et de feuilles de tabac...

Un sapore deciso e gradevole molto gradito da bere liscio

Un ron sin concesiones, de trago largo, en boca una explosión de 43 grados y sabores sin concesiones, ron ron, sabores a maderas mucha fuerza y sabor yo realmente no encuentro mariconadas como vainillas caramelos ni cosas parecidas...solo sabor a ron me ha ayudado encontrarlo a 49€ la botella de litro, no pienso mezclarlo....habitualmente no mezclo nada.

I assumed it would be great, it wasnt. At least not for me. It has a great aroma, but the finish is to sharp and overwhelming for my taste. If you like that in a drink then this is one to try.

Nose: cream and soap amd caramel.
Mouth: It has a woody and spicy feeling. More alcoholic feeling that Zacapa Solera 23. Longer finale.

Great over ice...brings out the smooth caramel flavours.

Obviously a quality rum but I much prefer the original 23, which I think is very good. I find the peat like smokiness here to be distracting. If I want that flavor I will go drink a Malt Whiskey from the western Islands of Scotland.
