Ron Zacapa 23 Solera Rum was created in 1976 in the highlands of Guatemala, where it is distilled from fresh cane juice before aging at 7544 feet at 62 °F (17 °C).
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.

It's very drinkable, has a slight initial spiciness, which I like, followed by a slightly sweet & oily aftertaste, which I'm not so keen on. Probably one of the better rums more commonly found in bars.

This is definitely an "always drinkable" rum, nothing what you can do wrong with it, a nice and sweet sipper.

Nice Rum at a good price, great straight, but not so pricey as to cause guilt when mixing with a splash of diet coke

Il fait parti de mon top 5, parfait représentant des rhums élevés en solera. Son léger piquant en bouche le démarque des classiques Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva, Opthimus 21 ou Centenario 20 ou 30.

Great Solera Rum style. Perfect for sipping. Very popular in the rum culture and something to try.
Pretty good stuff for the price 7 out of 10

TL/DR - fine for the price, let it breathe for a while before drinking.
Nice notes of mahogany, tobacco, brown sugar and vanilla. I had this neat and also smoked with applewood. Both were great.
But for the price, I'd go with the much smoother Plantation XO. Z 23 is a nice alternative though.
