Hi, never had Zacapa before but love rum - neat, rocks, with fruit or whatever and especially with a good smoke.

My question, the liquor store I go to has both centenario and centanario xo, US$43 and US$86, respectively. Should I just make the leap straight to XO?

Thanks, and hello everyone...first post. shocking that it was in the drinks and not sticks section :).

Welcome to the board!

IMO, the XO is not as good as the Z23. The XO is too sweet for my palate. If you like Rum, you will be VERY happy with the Z23!

I think I like the Z23 better, I think.

They are both great. That may not be much help, lol, buy both.

funny this subject came up today....i just started trying rum..i guess its like cigars, no matter what anyone says ..its what your taste buds like....i have only tried 2 rums...zacapa 23 and plantation 20.....i like plantation better cause its smooth as a well aged cognac and has a slight sweetness of a fine rum.

Plantation 20 is an amazing value - one of my favorites as well :thumbsup:

So you'll probably hate me when I say that the Plantation is $39.95 here, right? :P

Yeah. Plantation 20 is cheap in the States. Is a solid product though El Dorado 15 is superior IMO. The vanilla/coconut profile of the Plantation 20 reminds me a bit of Malibu, which is NO BUENO.

Anybody had Zafra? Am enjoying that one.

Go for the 23, the XO isn't half as good. Zacapa is the second best rum out there IMO......Diplomatico reserva exclusiva is the best rum I have ever had.

Definitely go for the 23 it is much nicer then the XO. I had a drink from both last night. I find the XO is too sweet for my tastes.

z23, el dorado 15 is a fantastic rum as well as was mentioned. I enjoy them both very much

Get a hold of some Zaya 12. Great price, excellent rum!
