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.

Velká klasika, velmi univerzální, hodně sladké až elixirově. Jemný a karamelový. Dobrých 7,5.

I have a soft spot for anything Zacapa, as it was my introduction into quality rums. Is it overly sweet, yes. Are there better ones for the price point, yes. Still this was my gateway into this world and I have used it as a starter for several other people to realize the "rum" is not just a party drink or something to add to Coke.

sweet and above average standard easily afordable anywhere
Smooth, caramel aroma, soft oaky flavour. Distinct but still smooth.

I had high hopes for this rum after Diplomatico Reserva Exclusive and Plantation XO, but sad to say it did not live up to the hipe.
It had more burn than I expected for such a rum. There are notes of honey and maple syrup in its deep amber color.
Sad to say it was better with coke then straight.

If there is no another rum in the world, it could be 10 of 10, but unfortunately this is not the case. I couldn´t find anything special on this rum...of course there is something...unique spicy, but not for this price. Bought in sale for 48 EUR, but there are plenty of rums in this price with far more better taste, nose and everything.

Bit too pricy and bit too sweet. Rum is well known, likely available to many. Nose and the taste are pleasant and complex.

Getting good rums can be difficult. This is a reasonable rum that is readily available in my neck of the woods; medium bodied, dark coloured (but apparently more from additions than by nature) sweet with soft spirit bite.

Overrated but not bad

It's very drinkable, has a slight initial spiciness, which I like, followed by a slightly sweet & oily aftertaste, which I'm not so keen on. Probably one of the better rums more commonly found in bars.
