Zacapa. Decent Rum, all in all. I do like the standard Solera. More than this here actually, especially considering the price.
You get a nice bottle here, true, but the contents are not that much better than the cheaper standard version. It is by no means a bad sipper, but it also is nothing special.
Nose is mostly baking spices, vanilla, molasses and a hint of coffee beans. Typical fare for Rum. Pretty middle of the road actually.
Taste is rather similar, with a bit more of a wood hint, some dark chocolate and more vanilla. It is not as sweet as the Solera if I remember correctly. Zacapa has a bit of a reputation for being a sugar bomb. This, not so much. More emphasis on cinnamon in here too. Coffee has been replaced by the chocolate.
Short, sweet, oaky aftertaste. It gives me a warm feeling in my stomach, but that could also be heartburn if I am honest (you try sitting in an office for 10 hours without anything to do and not down a couple packages of chips....salt and vinegar flavor, my new weakness....).
All in all, a nice sipper, but I would not pay 120 bucks for that.
