Gran Reserva Ron Zacapa Ron Centenario Sistema Solera 23 Rum

9.5

Probably my favourite rum - it’s from Guatemala. They use virgin sugar cane honey - the first pressing of the sugar cane, unlike most rums which use molasses. As I’ve mentioned in previous notes on Delectable, aromas of burnt caramel, tar and molasses. Aged in a Solera system at 2300 metres above sea level. Firstly in American Oak Barrels then in charred American Oak barrels, then in barrels that previously aged Sherry and finally in barrels that previously aged Pedro Ximinez. Very smooth and dangerously drinkable. — 19 days ago

Dark tawny brown in colour. Strong molasses/cane earthy smoky aromas. A brilliant palate of Caramel, molasses - a fluid mellifluous palate, so smooth it doesn’t show its 47.5% ABV. Aged in Double charred Oak Barrels. A marvellous Rum from Guatemala - love the raffia basket weave around the base of the bottle - great presentation. — 5 years ago

I love Zacapa, but for my palate, the 23 year is more of what I'm looking for. We've owned this, once. The 23 is a regular buy, it's also less expensive, in the US.

That was the end of a litre bottle Severn. Now will open an 18 year old Flor de Cana from Nicaragua. Love these Central American and Cuban Rums.

Severn Goodwin

Fully agree on those locales 👍

Sistema Vinari Fato. Dinner w Jauma and Yida at Almarge in Baladona. Beautiful blood orange nose. Quite light bodied but bold at the same time.

Love the nose. — 2 years ago

Una maravilla. Vino PX de DO Montilla Moriles con muchísimos premios. Hecho de uvas pasificadas; y sistema tradicional de Criaderas y Solera, como mínimo 20 años de crianza en las botas más antiguas de cuando se fundó la bodega. Color azabache; nariz muy intensa a pasas, higos, café y regaliz. Boca soberbia, aterciopelada, intensa, cremosa; sí, es dulce, pero equilibrado; largo y gran retrogusto a chocolate, dátiles y frutos secos. Para tomar solo y meditar; o acompañar de un queso azul intenso!!! — 5 years ago
