Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

I bought this for a close friend's birthday a while back. We both enjoy sipping a good rum and this was one we hadn't tried before. Upon handing over the gift it was promptly opened and sampled over and over and over and over...........all I can say is that I will be buying this for my collection very soon. The combination of flavours on the pallet is enjoyable with a pleasant lingering.

Sehr guter solera rum .
Nicht zu stark und nicht zu süss .
Aroma ehrinert mich an schokolade.
Sehr lange im mund behalten dass der aroma gut rauskommt .

Warm, smooth and silky, long finish. It does not get much better than this.

À venir prochainement.............................

This was my first taste of "real" rum, and I liked it.

I really enjoy Zacapa. I didn't know it wasn't aged 23 years until reading the reviews here. I'm not an expert on rums but I have a fairly good nose for quality wine, beer and spirits (I'm often fooled by cordials, lol). I would highly recommend the rum if you like a mild and balanced rum. I think it's delicious with couple ice cubes.

However I still see this get sold as a 23 year old rum at some bars. This is mostly the bar owners faults but the bottle's design doesn't help.

The taste is different than most rums. It definitely has it's own signature. The virgin sugar cane juice surely contributes to this. It's a very sweet rum. But also the smoky aftertaste.

I've drank quite a few bottles of this and will continue in the future.

Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Sehr mild nicht zu alkoholisch relativ süß. Guter Einsteiger rum.

It gets a lot of hate currently from the "experienced" rum drinkers. However, I still think it's a pretty good choice, especially if you can get it for a reduced price. It's has that little bit of dryness and a slightly longer aftertaste than similar priced rhums. That being said, you can definetly find rhums that offer a more complex experience than Zacap 23. It lacks a longer aftertaste, complexity and some thickness.

Ikke en sofistikeret rom, men en ganske fin ledsager til en tv aften eller til kaffen med gæster, hvis det ikke er vigtigt at snoppe rom.
