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.

Ron Zacapa 23 Solera Gran Reserva 40% (Guatemala)

Eye: Light amber with green lip

Nose: Very sweet, round and even nose with a fine mix of marzipan, dark and light chocolate, butter scotch, honey, treacle, dates, apricot and lots of embrowned butter. A veritable fat sugar chock! At next nose there are a faint gun powder scent and vanilla, new cut tobacco and oiled teak. Very smooth, very sweet.

Mouth: Again, very sweet, sticky and rather short. Appealing ethanol at the end. Honey, marzipan and quince. A tad unrefined, on the verge of being simple. It´s not without its´ point but tend to appear as simplistic with a clear taste of pure sugar.

Reaction: Very difficult to define the nuances apart from what has already been said. It tastes alright and I am certain there are times it suits well if something sweet is needed, but really, that´s it. At the same time I pour again and again. It´s very drinkable but for the same reason I eat too much candy. The price is affordable and the access very good. It was one of the first rum I tasted and at that time I found it to be delicious so maybe I just had a bad day grading it.

A great choice and I would recommend it to a friend.
Smooth, but not in my top 5.

Smooth with very pleasant finish. Highly recommended for first time rum drinkers (or those of you who couldn't stand what you were given at parties during high school).

Klassisk god rom. Vundet en masse priser og man er sikker på hvad man får. Lige så god som XO, men er billigere. Så hel klart anbefales at man prøver denne. God opstart rom.

Angenehme Süße, langanhaltender Geschmack. Zu keinem Zeitpunkt scharf am Gaumen. Schmeckt einfach sehr angenehm und abgestimmt. Unbedingte Empfehlung, leider nicht ganz günstig.

Le rhum Zacapa 23 est élaboré au moyen d'un système de vieillissement appelé "sistema solera". Le principe est simple, des rhums d'âge et de profil différents sont assemblés, puis vieillis dans une succession de fûts. Les premiers fûts ont été utilisés pour conserver de robustes whiskeys américains, les seconds de délicats xérès et les derniers d'élégants vins Pedro Ximenez.

En d'autres termes, 3 rangés de fûts pour éduquer les plus jeunes rhums et offrir cette grande palette arômatique au Zacapa 23.

l’idée principale de ce rhum
Merveilleux complexe avec un goût de caramel dur au miel, épices de chêne et raisins sec qui démontrent la complexité du processus de vieillissement au soleil

Nez

Un doux départ qui enveloppe la complexité du verre ; des arômes doux de caramel, vanille, de cacao et de caramel dur, combinés avec des épaisseurs de saveurs indicatives du vieillissement solaires des différents barils ; des notes de cerises caramélisées, des noix du Brésil et des noisettes grillées avec la fine note d’un caramel mou, de bananes.

Palais

Complexe merveilleux, généreux et corsé avec une douce densité d’un miel, typique d’un spiritueux âgé. Une grande profondeur d’arômes de raisins et d’abricots sec attenant à un une note savoureuse et intense de chêne, de noix de muscade, de cuir et de tabac. Nous avons également dans ce Rhum Zacapa 23 ans Solera, des notes délicates de café et de vanille. L’équilibre entre une touche épicé de cannelle et de gingembre sur un agréable finale en bouche.

Un rhum pour les palais exigeants !
