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.

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

Es un ron para disfrutar una o dos cubas. Son de eso rones que te pueden dejar una gran resaca, creo q esta sobre valorado en relaciΓ³n precio sabor
I've come to find out that I like all rums made through the Solera system. Very smooth with a rich aftertaste and warm fuzzy feeling in my chest. Preferred on the rocks.

Taste of tobacco, honey and nuts.
Spiced rum and easy to drink but the taste is not equivalent to the reputation.
Pros: Overall good rum. Not so sweet.
Cons: I don't like too much alcohol-smell of liqueurs. One can also buy better rum for 2/3-3/4 price. A little bitter for my taste.

I was expecting more from this rum. It wasn't bad at all, but there was nothing memorable about it. Just an ordinary rum.

A fabulous rum for those that want a treat. Smooth as silk, great flavour and best served over ice with apple Wood smoke infusion (as served on Celebrity Eclipse).

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.

The alcohol is noticeable at the beginning (I let it in the glas for 10 minutes before drinking), very pleasant and fruity/herbal sweetness in the smell.
The taste is not too sweet, but dark with caramel, raisins and typical Zacapa herbs.

Smell: caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, banana, raisins, herbs/plants, orange, oak
Taste: caramel, herbs, raisins, cognac
Middel: burned sugar, dried fruits, raisins, banana, wet barrel (earth)
