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.

No so sweet, rather dry rum. In this price range I can find better rums but this one is drinkable, sipable.

Great flavor and easy to find, but is a little pricy for how good it is.

A little bit harsh and with this money you can get at least 5 better bottles.

I just finished drinking the entire 70cl bottle, initially I thought it was an excellent rum, but after trying other things and tasting this thoroughly I think there are better alternatives for the price. I only drink rum neat
One the first premium rum I ever tried :)
And still very good

Schmeckt pur durchaus ganz passabel. Kulturbanausen würden ihn auch mit Cola trinken.
Kräftige Farbe, in der Nase nicht sehr auffällig und auch geschmacklich präsent. Der erste Schluck ist leicht kratzig, aber nicht rauchig. Wer es nicht so süß mag ist hier richtig. Ein DailyRum im geschmacklichen Mittelfeld. Den Rum kann man mit Freunden trinken, wenn man nicht die "guten Tropfen" aus der Bar mit allen teilen möchte. :)

I have recently become more focussed on Rum and this is a great go to rum for me. Really enjoy the taste with my beginner pallet!

On the nose, I feel mostly banana and a mix of tropical fruits. Easy drinking rum to start your evening. Always will have a place in my cupboard.

8 Nose : it initially gives a bouquet of brown sugar, it reminds a little of a chocolate or caramel/toffee sauce for ice cream or desserts, red, tropical fruits, raisins are there, also a feeling for the aged rums in the blend with a little oak and cocoa coming through.
9 Palate :Upon tasting, the rum is not as sweet as expected. The nosing suggested it could be as sweet as XM or El Dorado. The Zacapa 23 is actually not as dry as XO, but it is oaky, buttery, vanillia, a note of coffee expresses itself. The flavour builds if you leave the rum in your mouth for a little longer allowing it to coat the palate. You then get some of the cocoa flavours, caramel and a little bit of tropical fruit, raisins-sherry finish present.
9 Finish :The rum is very smooth and has almost none aftertaste or alcohol burn. Red fruits, punchy taste is carrying on, with minimum dryness. It is very pleasant to sip.
