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.

Some people take all the fun out of drinking! I'm not one to drink liquors straight. I'm a cocktail/daiquiri drinker (beer? ew) and feel no shame. Most of my drinks of choice are rum-based. A little Bacardi in a hurricane mix and I'm fine. Now I married into a half-Cuban family, so when they could my in-laws would sneak me some Havana Club and I'd mix it with Coke. I was introduced to Zacapa by a friendly bartender who let me do some tasting on a slow lunch hour. I'd never liked straight Rum but wow, this tasted great and didn't make me spit and cough. Loved it enough to make a note in my phone. I just got my first bottle this week and was even better than I remember. I don't pretend to understand liquor very well, but for some reason I HAVE to drink Zacapa neat. I mean, I'm sure it would be great as a mixer but if I pour it over ice it seems to burn my mouth and throat just like any old rum would. It has good flavor and doesn't make you wince...also packs a punch! What's not to love? BUY IT!
