Ron Zacapa Edición Negra <23yr 43%

RX48 Good Column Still Rum <100€
“Smoky, bold, Zacapa; intriguing yet polarizing.”

Ron Zacapa Edición Negra, crafted in Guatemala, is aged up to 23 years and boasts a 43% ABV. Distilled from sugar cane honey using a column still, it presents dominant smoky, coffee, and chocolate aromas complemented by woody undertones. On the palate, users detect pronounced smokiness and chocolate flavors, enriched by wood and mild alcoholic notes. While some appreciate its distinctive character and complex aromas, others find it too alcoholic and lacking depth, often comparing it to other Zacapa offerings. The unique barrel influences introduce intriguing smoky, spicy elements, satisfying fans of bold, aromatic rums. Despite mixed feedback regarding its sweeter profile and price-value perception, its uniqueness appeals to those seeking a more daring rum experience.

“Very similar to the normal Zacapa on the nose (caramel, fruit), except that smoky and toasty flavors are more represented. In the mouth, the smoke and tobacco then comes through very strongly, which is why drinking becomes a spicy experience. Must like, I do not find it all too good. Price much too expensive! Positive to mention are in any case the chocolate and roasted flavors, which are very pleasant in combination with caramel.”

“Un rhum un peu passe partout, plutôt doux avec des notes de caramel et de bois fumée. Cette édition spéciale ressemble beaucoup à l'original, le rapport qualité prix s'en ressent (à la baisse). Pour moi il aurait mérité quelques degrés en plus pour être meilleur.”
