Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

Smooth, deep sugar cane bouquet and taste. The deep amber color invites to dream. Flawless

Tonight's Rum: Ron Zacapa Centenario 23. In Honour of this being International Rum Day, I thought I would tackle Zacpa 23. One of the best rums in the world. If you've never experienced, and it is an experience, this one Rum not to miss. Aged at 10,000 feet above sea level in Guatemala, and at 23 years old, it is a remarkable Rum, worth every penny. On the nose, it's all honey and fruit. Most notably apricot, orange, and banana. On the pallet, it's orange notes stand out. It's oaky, rich, almost thick. Still, it's very well balanced; sweet and tart. On the throat some Rums, the cheaper ones, have a bit of warmth or bite as you swallow, Zacapa pretty much disappears, leaving honey, cinnamon, and molasses flavor behind. 10 out of 10. Great with dark chocolate or simply neat. Always served at room temperature, neat.

One of the best sipping rums you can buy, it’s not hard to see why Zacapa has won so many awards! Anyone that says otherwise is a moron.
Smokey coffee taste and very nutty, while being quite sweet, just beautiful.

Unbelievable for the price, would highly recommend

This is the perfect sipping rum! Can't stop drinking it with our without a good cigar!

Som fanúšik solera metódy a pri tomto rume sa master blender trafil úplne do mojej chute.

Not much to say,its the best rum i ever tasted. A must have, it convinced some of my whisky or cognac-lover friends. Its rich in the nose,and even better in the mouth,a fruity-sweety explosion. Banana,butterscotch,brown sugar,toffee and many other delicate aromas share their place on your tongue,completing and balancing each other and not competing or supressing.The afterburn is long and amazing,sweet with the unique guatemalan heavy ,rich taste.
I need to add that this review and experience is 5year old,as the Zacapa 23anos had that octagonal bright brown paperbox. Nowdays,after the new owner Diaego took over the distillery,the design changed and its called Zacapa 23anejo with a black box.I have 2 bottles of this newer design and after finishing one i would give 9 stars only in a recent review.The quality decreased a bit.It's still amazing and i recognize the explosion ,but i taste younger blends,every experience is shorter as 5years ago. I think the rumours are true and to gain more profit,they 'streched' the original recipe with lesser quality,younger blends. I understand that,as Zacapa is probably the No.1 upper class rum brand,still it's a pity. Don't get me wrong,its a fantastic rum,one of the best, but the 23anos was a step closer to rum perfection

My personal favourite: spicy, dark, sweet but smouth.

Možná to nebude úplně objektivní hodnocení. Byl to můj první vstup do světa rumu. Do té doby jsem byl zastáncem whisky. Seděli jsme s bratrem a on povídá:" Dáme si rum." První sklenička byla pro mě velké překvapení. Vskutku lahodné pití, musíme si dát ještě jednu jestli je to opravdu tak dobré...a ještě do třetí nohy....a ještě poslední skleničku a druhou poslední....atd..no a v lahvi moc nezůstalo. Tmavá barva, příjemná nasládlá chuť, pěkná vůně. Kvůli sladké chuti jsem měl trochu strach z rána, ale probuzení bylo v pohodě. Viva Zacapa.

Might not be the best neat but not every rum has to be. Put this with some ginger beer and it's as good as it's ever gonna get.
