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.

It was an disapoitment, everyone says, that is allmost the best, but NOT. to be 50% cheaper, than it is OK. Not Bad, but too sweet. I wonder how much of 23 YO rum is in it 1l in barel?

Extremely smooth is my strongest impression, refined in taste, vanilla and cask. For those who prefer not to demanding taste this is it. Great Rum and a good experience. Recommended.

This rum is as much the base line to critic a lot of molasses rums as well as maybe the easiest entrance to the world of rums.

I read it has a lot of additives. Nonetheless it was a quite lovely rum.

Einer meiner absoluten Favoriten! Nicht zu süß und sehr gehaltvoll.

The first thing I noticed upon opening the bottle was a super sweet candy floss smell, which did not linger once it was poured into the glass. In the glass it is a dark amber colour which is pleasing. The rum itself is sweet, bit not as sweet as say Diplomatico RE, and very drinkable. Drinkable sums up this rum. Very nice for a sweeter rum, but lacks the complexity I would like at this price point. A Pampero Anniversario or Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva does everything this rum does at half the price or less. Cocktail shown is a Ruby of the Sea from YouTube's How to Drink.

Trop agressif et peu de subtilité de goûts et arômes. J'ai fini la bouteille dans du Coca.

Intense tobacco smell, deep and rich. This rum is excellent sipper, but way overpriced.

Compared to premium rums, this one feels almost like a cheaper liqueur with rum taste. (almost..) The taste isn't whole nor complex, it's rather a mix of different ingredients somewhat working together. I guess some people might like it.. Maybe I'll give it another try some other time..
