Guatemala | Aged | 40% ABV | Column Still (1-4)
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 just love this ron. He is sweet, tasty and the perfect ron for a relaxed evening...
This rum is very good, smooth but just slightly too sweet. It is one of my go to's
Even tho the price is a bit high here in QuΓ©bec, it is worth every penny. Smooth and long lasting flavor paired with a finale of sweet aromas.

A wonderfully flavorful rum with a nice afterburn.
Very good smooth rum for drinking neat or on the rocks.

Its quite good but i believe it is perhaps a bit to sweet. And well it was a bit to expansive. But its still goes easily in your month.

Wanted to try this for a while, heard lots about it.
It's a nice tasting rum, perhaps too sweet for some, in moderation it's fine.
Almost like a liquor rum, not a bad thing.
Would recommend.

Appearance: the color of black tea with a copper tint, very oily.
Smell: baba with confectioner's sugar, loose and sticky from the impregnation, dark cane sugar, cherry syrup, boiled dry fruits - pears, raisins and prunes. In the background - shades of preheated in the sun cracked the board, pine tar, cracked old rubber, the hot sugar syrup (with a share of unrefined cane sugar), cooked vegetables (carrots and potatoes).
The smell is sweet and pleasant, but his background is not too rum, vaguely reminiscent of whiskey, although it is closer, perhaps, to the lower reaches of the Roma Demerara.
The body is rounded, flowing and smooth, with a minimum burning, very pleasant.
The taste is sweet, with a large number of cane sugar, candied tropical fruits like passion fruit and banana. Ingestion felt a lot of creamy caramel and baking spices with weak hints of pineapple flambΓ©ed with brandy and soaked prunes.
The aftertaste is long, full of vanilla caramel, molasses, tobacco and dry spices like clove, cardamom and nutmeg.
The result ~ a bright harmonious taste with a predominance of sweet and spicy notes; the taste is certainly distinctive, rum, and complete with a soft, comfortable, without aggressive dry spices and bittersweet viscosity at the end. Dry, by the way, in Zacapa 23 is developed in the second half, but the sweetness she drowns.
Body and aroma great. Smoothness impression not worth the extra cost. Bacardi 8 just as good at half the price.
