Ron Zacapa 23 Sistema Solera Rum

Sweet and smooth

Really full-bodied. Great nose. There’s just an aspect of the flavor that’s a bit harsh/extra almost as if it were overly adjuncted with spice.

N: Bananas, cherry cola, toasted marshmallow. Not-yet-ripe tropical fruit, cherry cough syrup, raw brown sugar. Splash of something floral. Not a terribly deep nose, but very pleasant. P: Banana sugar, creamy tropical fruit notes, molasses. Dash of earth and chalky minerals - a little funky. Red fruit and candied cinnamon. A long, lingering vanilla with a little bit of wood spice, sweet chocolate, and baking spice for the finish. Not a ton of depth to this, but it's a nice, easy sipper. This is the kind of bottle that doesn't last long in my cabinet. And often gets replaced. _______ Please come join an unofficial Distiller community on Discord: https://discord.gg/4nfePCdyKM.
