Zafra Master Series Aged 30 Years is a distinguished Panamanian rum, crafted in 1985 by the renowned Las Cabras distillery. This limited-edition release boasts only 6720 bottles, each encapsulating rich flavors of vanilla, caramel, honey, and subtle woody undertones. Aging for three decades in oak has imparted a smooth complexity with hints of dried fruits and spice. Enthusiasts appreciate its balance and superior quality, although some find it sweeter than desired. Despite its 40% ABV, it delivers an unexpectedly rich, full-bodied experience reminiscent of sweet Spanish rums, yet opinions vary on its value relative to its price. RumX users share diverse tastes and impressions.

"The best sweet Spanish styled I’ve ever tasted and of course it is from Panama which seems to be my favorite country of origin when it comes to sweet Spanish rum. Hard to see that any other should beat it."

"Another of the nice rums in the tasting today This is an even better version of the 21 year old. I think this one would merge well with a nice cigar in hand. Extremely well balanced and you can basically taste the age. The price tag for this bottle is very good compared to what you get. "

"The palate is extremely rich with flavors of dried cherries, sultanas, vanilla and a hint of nutmeg and banana. The finish is long and smooth with notes of baking spices."

"Likely the most tasteful rum I've tried at 40% ABV. Starting Monday evening well, this rum has a fullness in the nose with hints of caramel tobacco and wood. In the notes I got vanilla, caramel and hints of bourbon. Minimal woody taste-notes, despite the high age"
