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.

De meningen lopen nogal wat verdeeld over Zacapa Systema Solera 23. Voor mij is dit zeker een Rum die je moet proeven. ideaal voor de beginnende rum drinker, en geliefd bij onze vrouwelijke genieters.
Mooie diepbruine mahonie kleur, met een zeer breed pallet aan zwoele aroma's, gedroogd fruit, eik, vanille, coco, en chocolade. in de mond weerom zwoel & warm, gedroogd fruit, hout, bruine caramel, donkere honing. deze Rum mag niet ontbreken in jouw selectie.

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

Its a pretty good sipping rum. Failry smooth good notes of vanilla, but definately not up their for sipping with the el dorado 21 or diplomatica reserva.

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 !

Smells of vanilla, coffe and caramel. Rich and elegant long taste. A little expensive?

This Zacapa is one of the most known from the Zacapa Family. Nose: It has Sweet aromas with a bit of chocolate smell and fruit aromas at the end. Just add 2-3 cubes of ice and let it feel some air for about 15 minutes and as soon as you have the first zip there is a very nice oak feel to your Palate. You can feel Its Brown Sugar Molasses presence as well. I’m a bit curios as to why it’s called Zacapa 23 when its average age does not seem to be 23 years. Being a nice rum it surely does not compare with the other reserve lines within the Zacapa Family and lacks of the body of other finer rums. In general this is a Good Rum to share with your casual friends, however I would look for other options when it comes to share it your intercircle closer ones.

I guess the added some extra sugar. Really I dont get the "hype" surrounding this rum.

Don't ask me why. It's the smoothness, the richness which just makes it one of my favourites.
