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.

This rum is complex and full of flavors. Smooth going down with a slow warming burn afterwards. Great with just a few ice cubes to bring out the flavors.

This a such a smooth rum full of flavour. Either drink this neat or as recommended by the bottle, with an ice cube. My first few sips I got plenty of woody notes with dark brown sugar but as the rum chilled more with the ice cube, it brought out the more sweeter side of this rum. Absolutely delicious.

In my humble opinion, the short answer is almost !
The smell and that first sip does not disappoint .
I guess the real connoisseur may feel that the making of this rum is somewhat cheating , however Zacapa 23 holds it head high on this attribute.
This rum would be deemed the bench mark when it comes to the systema solera mixing methodology and with that in mind it brings together so many elements you want in a quality rum. For me the only thing missing was a big finish given how good the body, the caramel and those woody flavors delivered after that first sip .

After some impromtu hide and seek, everyone ended up sitting on the floor. Always a good sign. 8/10 would drink again.

This Ron from Guatemala is extremely famous. Because it's soft, sweet and easily accessible (apart from the price). Which is a good thing. The taste is good and the smell is really pleasant. We can smell the vanilla and the wood. Then in the mouth the caramel and vanilla are very present before giving way to dry and ripe fruits.

But what bothers me is the price first, a ron far too expensive for what it is.
Then adding additives such as sugar or glycerin to give it the desired taste and texture.
I am also not a big fan of Systema Solera as it is always indicated the age of the oldest rum even if it is in tiny quantities. Unlike English rum where the youngest rum age appears.

To conclude: it is a pleasant ron to drink, the taste anis good and the smell as well. However, many things lead me to say that we are sold in mid-range flavored and sweet rum at the price of a Premium. For me it is in the same category as Don Papa, sweet flavored rums pleasant to drink but sold a little too expensive for what it is and without any real complexity.

Ja som sa s týmto rumom nestretol na začiatku ale až trochu neskor a viac mi uz vyhovuju nedosladzované nasládle rumy.
Zacapa 23 je "klasický" rum ktorý asi každý pozná a takmer všade ho majú. Flaša pekná s tubou vhodná ako darček ktorý rozhodne nikoho neurazí. Vôňa nasládla - med, vanilka, trochu čokoláda a káva. Chuť veľmi hladká a kopíruje vôňu. Veľmi príjemný rum aj ked trochu menej cukru by mu asi prospelo.

Still interesting but a little bit too sweet to my actual taste of rums.
