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.

One of the smoothest and well balanced rums in my collection.

With this price i would rate this higher than XO. Really balanced rum, easy to drink

Auf jeden Fall ein Kauf wert. Es gibt sicher smoothere rum. Aber schöne Farbe und gut im Geschmack. Langweilige Flasche.

Quite possibly the best sipping rum I've had. Has a sweetness and complexity on the nose that delivers on the palette. Nicest finish of any blended rum I've had - balanced, layered, and lengthy. Great mouthfeel, with a butterscotch component that compliments the balance of heat and sweet. One of the nicer rum drinking experiences to be had IMO. A solid 9+.

From my start in the Rum-world (not so long ago), I have seen much about this rum, so of course it is one you have to try.
It is good, quite sweet and spicy.And that is it, not the best in the world I think, but I would never turn down a glass.

For sure I have Zacapa 23 in my "active collection" but not for every day sipping. A great rum and well positioned but for occasions.

Color obscuro, aroma a caramelo con sensaciones de vainilla y miel. El sabor es único, ideal para tomarse solo pero también con un "pintado" de coca cola. Es uno de los mejores rones del mundo.

I expected more for the price. As others have mentioned, the age is deceptive. Can I call a 1984 Ford truck a 2016 model if it just had new a\c installed? Probably not.
The flavor was a good balance of wood, caramel and molasses. This one has most likely been sweetened so don't drink too much at once.

Une note 6 car c'est quand même une qualité ce Zacapa 23, mais je trouve que le caramel est trop marqué en bouche, il cache presque le gôut du Rhum à mon sens.
Le déguster chez des amis pourquoi pas, mais pour moi je ne l’achèterai pas.

Nice good long taste.
A good burn and not too much.
Nice flavor still i find plantation a bit nicer.
But i like sweet so its just a bit under but the longness of its is very good.

Nose: Sweet, dark fruits, some sherry and some cola syrup/cola bottle confectionery, maybe cherry cola. There is some nice runny honey and milk chocolate too. Deep down there is a smoky element, maybe some cigar box or pipe tobacco and some roasted nuts.

Palate: Sweeeet. Thick and big mouth feel, but very sweet – more than I was expecting given the sugar tests. Brown sugar, oranges…no, marmalade and some banana. There is a distinct taste of Pint Pots/beer bottle sweeties that you used to have as a kid and a bit of cola. Once the sugar coating goes there is actually some depth to this; musty, forest floors/rancio and maybe some aniseed.

Finish: Quite long, more long than medium. Still some sweetness and a bit of banana/orange combo, but there are lots of spicy prickles. Oaky buzz, aniseed, mint, and that tobacco.
