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.

Based on the reviews, I had relatively high expectations for this rum. However, much better pieces can be found in this price category.

This rum is not worth The high Price , if you like sweet rum with a great smell is great but i did find out this rum is great with cola but not for sipping

This rum works as a standard dark rum, for cocktails for me. Nothing more, nothing less.

But fine!
I just don't understand how it was "worlds best" for so many years.

It's an okay rum for a dram or two, held back sweetness, vanilla, wood. Not a fan of added sugar and the slight deception in the marketing of its true age

This is good choice but not for the price, I think there are better rums in this price category. But of course it is smooth as 23 y.o. rum should be and overall I have nothing serious against it. But I would choose a different one in a bar, if I had the choice.

Won’t restock when finished but enjoyable none-the-less.

Een rum met een interessant verhaal betreft zijn rijping in 'The House Above The Clouds' ...
Deze rum wordt vaak als goed tot zeer goed aangeprezen. Ik deel deze mening niet. De blend dmv het solera systeem maakt dat deze rum inderdaad zijn smaak, geur en looks, jaar op jaar kan doorgeven.
Ik herken hier echter maar heel weinig tot geen 'oude gerijpte' rum in. Echter 1 druppel van een 23 jarige barrel, maakt dat men er mag '23 jaar gerijpt' op drukken.
Voor mij is dit eerder een middelmatige rum, waar het alcoholgevoel het wint op het smaakgevoel. Is te prijzig voor wat je ervoor krijgt.
Desalniettemin zorgt de goede marketing en positionering voor een grote afzetmarkt. Dat deze dan ook vaak als 'eerste goede rum' bij een beginnend verzamelaar in de collectie staat is niet verwonderlijk.

Fake thing with "23 solera". Zacapa as brand is using Solera incorectly. Artificial taste, but it is drinkable.
