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.

We all have different preferences and tastes. For me, I found this bottle to be good but unremarkable. No real distinguishing taste or features. It is a decent rum to sip on, but not one Iโ€™d buy again.

Overall if youโ€™re a beginner in the rum world or just someone who enjoys sweet sippers this would be fine. Very easy to drink. A little too sugary for me, but if you tend to like Zaya or Diplomatico you would enjoy this.

Smooth buttery sweet sipping rum. Enjoy after a game of golf with friends in a cabin.

It's a rather sweet rum but I like it. It went down smoothly.

Sweet rum with full body that you can easily drink entire night without getting tired of its taste.

The Zacapa rums were one of my first introductions to premium rums. It ticks the box of a nice first sippable rum. Don't overthink it and enjoy it. Cheers! JW [My sweetness scale: semi-sweet]. YMMV!

This rum is good if you're new to sipping alcohol or spirits in general. This very sweet rum has the baseline rum taste and feel which is then washed over with the sweetness of sugar.

Liked XO or dedicated (limited) editions more (even the "dark ones"). A typical Zacapa in a nutshell - very good premium Guatemalan rum with so well-driven commercial success, not particularly "love" for me but always a very good quality of product.
Better than green Diplomatico (Czechs' second bestseller in this cathegory) and definitely better than Don Papa (third one).

First time shelling out this kind of money for a rum to sip on. Didn't disappoint.
