had this rum recently

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.

Got a chance to test this rum with some friends. This rum is dominated by sweet notes of caramel and vanilla and these continue from the nosing through the palate to the finish. These flavor notes are quite present, but this is done in a rather monotonous way, so the rum lacks diversity and complexity. One can find many discussions and articles about this rum regarding sweeteners and other additives. As I am looking for non-sugared rums I would not recommend that rum to my friends. If you do not mind about such factors and love sweet rums you may enjoy the Zacapa Solera 23.

Looking past the dodgy age statements and judging just on the taste I found this a little too sweet for me. On the nose you get hints of chocolate, sugar, toffee and caramel (lots of sweets!) The first taste is very smooth with more chocolate and cinnamon coming through.

I can see why many people love this rum since it is very easy to drink and goes down smooth but I just find it a little too sweet for my taste for an everyday sipper but would use for a dessert sipper on occasion.

Good sipper but, fell short in the flavor department for me. For the price point and the reviews I expected more. Still not a bad rum and it goes down smooth and is very pleasant on the nose. Not what I expected.

Cheers

Note di miele sul finale, delicato e avvolgente...

I struggle with this one, smooth and sweet but it is all due to additives. Would love to try the Zacapa lineup in a pure form!
