    "This was the start of my adult rum journey and many bottles has passed by, but the rating has going down, down, down. It’s much too sweet for me as I have been growing into pure rum. It’s sweet, fruity and round with scents and flavors of vanilla, toffee and chocolate."

    "This bottlekill also dates back to my early days. Unfortunately, my tastes have changed a little. But I certainly don't regret drinking it back then. I can still recommend it as a good starter rum. There's hardly anyone who hasn't had it in their glass as an inexperienced rum drinker."

    "Very similar to other Zacapas. Fruity and pretty sweet with a characteristic spiciness and a wooden accent."
