Guatemala | Aged | 40% ABV | Column Still (1-4) Distilled

Ron Zacapa 23 Solera Rum was created in 1976 in the highlands of Guatemala, where it is distilled in a copper-lined column still from fresh cane juice before solera aging.

The 500 year-old Spanish Sistema Solera method is used to age Ron Zacapa 23 in white oak casks. This results in a combination of rums aged between 6 and 23 years.

The current Ron Zacapa 23 bottle features a woven band around the middle, which is in reference to the original hand woven palm leaf petate bottle cover that covered the bottle.

This rum works as a standard dark rum, for cocktails for me. Nothing more, nothing less.

Bought this bottle and Gosling's Old Rum in the same purchase. Pretty disappointed in how overly sweet both ended up being. The Zacapa wins out in the end with its greater balance of complex flavor, but what a bummer both bottles ended up being! So much sugar!

Did not like it straight up. Lot of burn and taste was unexciting. Mixed it and it's somewhat better. However for its reputation I was left disappointed

Those 3 words in my title tell it all. Of course when you sip this rum you find it easy to drink and enjoyable. But an old rum is not supposed to be that sweet. For that price you should consider buyin a REAL aged rum. If you have other choices, you can skip this rum.

Avec le Diplomatico ce Ron Zacapa 23 doit faire parti des meilleurs ventes de rhum Solera et les critiques sont souvent élogieuses. J'ai hésité à commander directement le XO mais je me suis dit qu'il serait intéressant de partir avec ce qui semble être la référence chez cette maison.
Je n'en suis qu'à ma seconde dégustation mais pour le moment je suis relativement déçu. Alors ça se boit bien, c'est même assez bon mais compte tenu du prix il y a tellement de choses plus intéressante. Mon El Dorado 15 ans coûte moins cher et offre beaucoup plus ! Je vais caricaturer un peu mais je ne sens que le sucre, le caramel et la vanille... bref la base de tous les rhums quoi. Je n'y trouve pas grande complexité et si en bouche il est plutôt doux je le trouve par contre un poil agressif à la descente.
J'attends les prochains verres pour voir si mon avis évolue mais pour le moment je reste sur ma faim compte tenu de sa réputation.

This had a lot of hype and for me, simply didn't deliver. It wasn't bad at all, but not one I would buy again with so many fantastic choices in this price range.

It is easy to drink and a sweet starter run but quickly becomes a bit boring

Rhum réputé du Guatemala, ce Zacapa 23 solera est une demi-déception.
Design : présentation surannée, avec un bouchon en liège, ce rhum a une couleur ambre foncé.
Nez : caramel, chocolat
Goût : attaque très(trop?) douce puis montée en puissance des arômes, chocolat noir, boisé, épice puis longue finale très moelleuse.
Agréable à déguster, ce rhum est trop sucré pour être honnête.

It's OK, kinda sweet. I expected more for what this cost.

This was the rum that changed my style of drinking! 2oz with an orange slice over the rocks and a cigar is hard to beat!

Or 2oz, 1/2 of a lime, and a teaspoon of sugar for the best daiquiri you'll ever taste!
