Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

everybody knows the name Zacapa, even my mother and she don't like rum.... for my personal view they take care more about the branding and marketing than the product it self...

Based on the numbers of positive reviews and of this rum I was exited to finally try it. I think I understand where some of the backlash is coming from. IMHO, too sweet and boring for the price. Do yourself a favor and go with a bottle of El Dorado 15 instead if you're torn or save half the money and go with a bottle of Zaya.

Good Rum, very smooth and easy to drink straight or on the rocks. Good as a present as it hits most people tastes and nice introduction into the rum world

Full of flavor and smooth creamy texture. Great sipping rum!

I did not know this rum had added sweetness but nonetheless, it is a decent sipping rum. I really had no complaints about this, but it's definitely not one I go straight for when I'm in the mood to sip on rum. Decent rum, but forgettable.

Pleasantly surprised with this rum although it is on the sweet side. Very drinkable neat and doesn't burn on the way down like some harsher brands do. One of my favourites for a tipple but wouldn't like to drink lots at once

Great taste, great finish, great price. I'm looking forward to taste 15 years edition.

Sweet..... ..

For me, Zacapa 23 is a perfect introduction for malt lovers looking to discover the wonderful world of rum. I was always a serious scotch lover, and rum never really grew on me. My first great experience with rum was at a wine tasting when someone pulled out a bottle of Zacapa. The elegance, the well balanced sweetness, the complex palate, and lingering finish which reminded me of silan and pine nuts, was all i needed. So, a stunner for me and a great "gateway" for true malt maniacs...

Solid 8

Goes great in a quality cocktail or with a couple pieces of ice. Good but not the best.
