Smoky dark chocolate and coffee over charred oak; sweet‑leaning yet moderately dry. Approachable neat or with cola, though several wish for more complexity and higher proof.

    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love Edición Negra’s smoky twist on the Zacapa style. Expect dark chocolate, coffee and charred oak on the nose, leading to caramelized, woody flavors with a touch of barrel char. Reviewers enjoy it neat or on the rocks, with some mixing it in cola. A popular pick with 152 reviews, though a few find it sweet or light at 43% ABV.

    Very similar to the normal Zacapa on the nose (caramel, fruit), except that smoky and toasty flavors are more represented. In the mouth, the smoke and tobacco then comes through very strongly, which is why drinking becomes a spicy experience. Must like, I do not find it all too good. Price much too expensive! Positive to mention are in any case the chocolate and roasted flavors, which are very pleasant in combination with caramel.

    Leicht alkohollastig. Keine Nennenswerte Frucht, keine Gewürze. Sehr eindimensional

    a bit alcoholic and a bit spicy finale. harder than the Zacapa 23 solera

    je ne suis pas fan des rhums vieillis en fût de whisky.
