Last December I brought a litre bottle of Ron Zacapa 23 from duty free in Birmingham UK on a whim based on its reputation & its much reduced price (£39 ~ about 44% off normal UK retail price).

IMO a great rum - nice & soft with a little spice, dark & rich flavours. Other rums were judged my it, I alternately indulged myself or hoarded it from myself. I shared it with anyone who was interested & a few who weren't...

I tried new things, forgot how good it was, returned to it like an old friend & enjoyed it's company... Other sipping rums came & went, some came close & I enjoyed their differences but Ron Zacapa 23 stood head & shoulders above them... literally, it was a litre bottle...

The bottle has been dwindling & right now Im finishing off the last glass...

BUT... I know someone who will pick me up another litre at the same price next weekend :)

The king is dead... long live the king! :)
