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.

Aunque en mi país le ha ido muy bien es más gracias al mercadeo que a su sabor.... Eso no le resta para nada el placer que se siente al probarlo. Todos aquellos que se denominan fanáticos del Ron deben tener uno a la mano

Caramello + altre spezie forse cannella, molto dolce e leggero ma non ha un gran finale. Va bene per i primi assaggi..
Zacapa is not the same as it used to be. It used to be a good rum when production was smaller. Now its just a comercial product with a bunch of sugar added. Rum is not supposed to taste that sweet, only by adding extra sugar. Also 23 is not years, its just name of the brand. The rum is not aged close to 23 years that why they got sued and had to take away the "years" part. I would rather spend my money in other rums that are real and dont have caramel coloring and sugar added to make it taste better.

The Zacapa 23 years solera system is cleary well known in many place in the world. It has a nice dark amber color and looks thick when served in the glass. Legs are long and thick which confirm there is a lot of sugar in this rum. The taste is nice, you have some fruity aromas most probably due to the aging of a part of the rum in Sherries barrels. The caramel and sugar taste is really too present for me. Nice but clearly not perfect. I have rate this rum with a 8 but it should be 7.5 for the added sugar.

This rum is probably at the same level as Zafra 21, but it doesn't have the burn, the whiskey, and the long fragrant finish of the Zafra 21, but Ron Zacapa 23 is sweeter. This, coupled with the rich (yet subtle) rum flavors, the French oak notes, and the absence of burn, gives it a luxurious feeling in the mouth. Smooth rum with subtle richness.

Very good rum. My first premium rum I tasted.
But I think there are many better and cheaper rums. Zacapa have very good marketing but don´t have the best rum.

Great smooth taste with a very sweet aroma. If you like sweet rum with a splash of Coke. Zacapa 23 is excellent.

After reading some of the reviews on this rum relating to the actual age of the rum and a few people mentioning artificial flavours and colours I was very sceptical. After trying this I actually thought it was very good. The long flavour is sweet but in a smooth way, with flavours of honey and caramel. I'm usually the first to disregard a rum for being too sweet but I love this stuff.
