Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

I like this rum a lot. Smooth sipper. Not too sweet. Need to buy an additional bottle

Teniendo en cuenta su precio y la calidad que atesora es sin duda uno de los mejroes rones del mundo en la actualidad.

Ranked 7.5 on my scale, but the bottles here are never half full. A welcome change from what is normally found at the big box stores.

Dette er sandelig en dejlig rom... kan bestemt anbefales

Quite sweet, not heavy rum, easy to drink. Popular

OK, to be clear, I mixed my rums with Diet Dr. Pepper. It's just how I like my rum. Zacapa was my first introduction to the real rum world (outside of Bacardi and Captain Morgans 1.75L typical offerings. I loved it and still do. The flavor is vanilla, molasses, and fruity. I would put this is the more sweet side by just a little bit. It is not a sugary sweet rum, but it has a perfectly blended "natural" sweetness to each and the complex flavors offer one or two changes as you enjoy it. It is not a Clement 6 that changes every sip in a good way, but it is not a Captain Morgan Reserve that is the same all the way through the drink. I have 9 bottles of this in my cabinet, yes 9 in reserve. It is likely my go to rum when I want something fine, yet not over the top.

This is a very sweet spirit.
Here is the only rum that girls drink neat because of its sweetness.
I believe that there are better rums, but in its style is a good one.
The power of great companies: in Italy this is the only 25+ € rum available in every supermarket or mall, and this makes it very popular as a "top shelf spirit".
Without being rum nerds too much, this is an enjoyable "suave" style rum.
Maybe a little overpriced.

The new Zacapa 23 Blend is tougher and less sweet than the blends before 2012. I find it less balanced too. But my brother prefers the new one, i prefer the old one, but everybody likes Zacapa.

Jeden z prvních opravdových rumů, které jsem ochutnal. Má pevné místo v mém baru.

This is a nice beginners sipping rum. Not too woody, not too much alcohol bite on the finish and a huge helping of sweet to comfort those new to sipping rums.
It has a really oily legs, a deep mahogany color. Baking spices, vanilla, molasses and a bit of esters in the nose. The palette has more of that deep molasses, vanilla and stone fruit. Fig, dates and raisins give this a deep flavor. Overall, this a sweet rum. It is not overly oaky and woody. The finish is medium to short with little burn. You're left with a pleasant molasses and spice after taste. A very nice rum, but there are better overall that aren't overly sweetened.
