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.

First thing I get in the nose is oak then sweet sugar. Vanilla and perhaps hints of caramel. Alcohol as well.
The flavor is sweet but I don't find it cloying. Vanilla and oak come through in the flavor and some other intangibles I can't put my finger on. Warming but not at all hot.
I find this easy to sip. Not a purists rum by any means but it wouldn't be hard to drink for the majority of the populace. I judge it for what it is, a fine wide appeal rum that is easy to sip and enjoy if we don't try to compare it with a fine unadulterated Jamaican or Bayan rum.
I guess what I don't like is that it's not transparent in it's additives. We need to understand the difference between what unadulterated rum and what sugar added rum is.
I find this a bit overpriced for what it is when we can buy many other fine Jamaican and Bayan rums for almost half the cost, but it is flavorful and I enjoyed it. A couple of ounces over a cube of ice makes a fine end to an evening.

Felt a slightly leathery taste, great rum with well enough blended ethanol such that it's not an issue

This rum is made from sugarcane honey and you can taste molasses, vanilla, and marzipan. Has little to no burn. However, its too sweet on my palate. Kinda like im drinking $40 syrup. For the same money, Id rather buy Appleton 12 rare blend. More complexity and less sugar.

Very enjoyable and flavorful. Hints of toffee and oak can be enjoyed on its own or with you favorite mix. Highly recommended.

Очень питкий, хороший ром. Сладкий но не на столько, как думал.

I rate my rum on the after taste. Should not be to bitter but nice and smooth. I rated the diplomatica reserva exclusiva a 10 and this one comes really close for me and therefor the high score.

I like sweet rums. Good price quality ratio.

Can't go far wrong ! will never upset you. bit high priced in the UK £46- 56 2021 so not a great deal

Love the brand and they are working hard to keep a great profile Product treated with care Nice presentation in the main But I feel I'm paying for it Should be around £30 - £35 IMO

Very Safe would buy again and I'm going to try their other products if I track them down
Ron Zacapa price's have stayed Level for the past three years but as they are over priced maybe they
had too I own a bottle and only rate what I have bought I may never buy again if they price stay's too high
