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.

Except for a very few reserve selections, many of which I've only discovered recently, I consider R Z 23 to be worthy of "gold standard" status. We have blind taste-tested it neat against rums like Bacardi Casa Reserve, and it's own brother the Zacapa XO...and the R Z 23 is simply so smooth and tasty it is never embarrassed in a comparison. So I rated it "only" a 9...but could consider it a more available, affordable "ten".

So I got this for like 2 years ago. I was looking forward to drink this so much, at that time I was still kinda new to aged rum but I had a few favorites already and this didn't match them really. Very sweet and fruity rum, nice vanilla notes, some caramel, not very complex. Very smooth.

Great rum but I expected more.

I enjoy the taste but a little sweet and no telling how long most of the rum is aged in the bottle.

I've enjoyed this rum after a friend turned me on to it. Very nice, sweet with hints of caramel and vanilla. A nice go to rum after a long day

Excellant pour initier vos amis néophytes !

Comme son grand frère, le XO, on retrouve des notes de chênes, vanille, agrumes et de tabac.

Un peu trop sucré pour moi qui préfère les rhums agricoles mais quand même à posséder et ouvrir lors d'une partie de poker !

One Rhum you should try before buying. And if you like it then ok... Lacks a bit of everything...It' s badly placed in the market I find...

I am pretty new to the rum rating and have tried about 12 different, this rum is not the best I have had. It is a nice sipper but pricey for what it is.

Her er en Rom der har masser af smag og behageligt duft, super god Rom til prisen, lækkert

This is a very good agricole rum, but its still a sweetened rum so I can't give it a 10. It's a bit over priced. But its still worth trying as a sipper. It a unique rum with unique spice notes. I found the absence of the rum burn on the finish very interesting and different. The nose reminded me very much of an aged Jamaican rum such as Appleton 21.

K&S 23 and 18 are still King of the Agricoles...
