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.

I struggle with this one, smooth and sweet but it is all due to additives. Would love to try the Zacapa lineup in a pure form!

Une note 6 car c'est quand même une qualité ce Zacapa 23, mais je trouve que le caramel est trop marqué en bouche, il cache presque le gôut du Rhum à mon sens.
Le déguster chez des amis pourquoi pas, mais pour moi je ne l’achèterai pas.

For 5 years ago it was tasting better, to much of the younger rum now.

A little bit harsh and with this money you can get at least 5 better bottles.

I only started off exploring and reviewing rums last year...the first I tried were two spiced rums, then various Plantations, then Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva and El Dorado 12 before I learned to enjoy dry rums. I've reviewed them all and some folks say I'd be better off drinking liqueurs and flavored vodkas instead if those were the rums I favored. However I'll tell you what--I'm still a RUM drinker because that's what I like. I enjoy some of the sweeter variety--though they're admittedly in a separate category from non-sugared rums, many are very pleasant to sip or mix. The Ron Zacapa 23 Solera is even sweeter than the others I mentioned but to me it's not quite a sugar bomb, the base flavor is interesting and a bit funky--it tastes similar to Appleton 12 in terms of hogo. I don't recommend sugary mixers such as Coke with this, but it's sippable neat and good with tonic or club soda, plus a lime quarter. The best thing to drink is whatever floats your boat personally and is enjoyable. Online reviews can sometimes be informative, but take 'em with a large grain of salt and don't let anyone tell you what you're supposed to like or what "quality" is. I rated this one a 6 because it is indeed a bit sweeter than I now care for and as such I feel it's overpriced--there are better rums at the $60 level--but this one will remain in my cabinet to occasionally sip and share.

Pitny, vyvaze rum, ale nudny, nic neoslni. Najde sa v nom aj trochu sladkosti, dostatok korenistosti. Ale je az podvod oznacovat tento rum 23 solera system, ked z 23y rumu mate vo flaske ani nie kvapku

メープルシロップのような甘さが特徴のラム。キレが良く、雑味がない。日本でも大人気のラムです。コスパも良く、初心者にも良いとおもいます。

Allways in my cabinet. Everyone knows it.
A litle bit overrated.

Note di miele sul finale, delicato e avvolgente...
