Guatemala | Aged | 40% ABV | Column Still (1-4)
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.

My son bought this because he did not research or read the label properly. He thought that it was good value for a 23 year old rum. Haha! We had a good laugh about that. lesson learned.
This has a lot of not so good things going on. Overly back-sweetened, lacks complexity, oaky finish without the benefits of oak derived ester profiles in the middle of the tasting (caramel, vanilla etc).
So many better rum offerings are available in this price range or lower.
Great taste, to the sweeter side, keep the glas with an aroma of the rum
Sweet and delicious rum.
One of the faves.
Love the slight change of flavours while siping on it.
The colour is golden brown.
The nose offers burned butter and caramel sweetness indicative of crème brûlée.
The mouth feel is thick, oily and mouth coating.
On the palate thereβs caramel sweetness with citrus, burnt butter, some fruitiness and a warming toasted oak with spiciness, followed by cocoa / dark chocolate. Very rich and intense and quite complex,
The finish is relatively short with sweet oranges and a brandy like fruitiness. Overall itβs very good but although the addition of colouring caramel would have artificially enhanced the mouthfeel, colour and flavour.
The first time I tried this rum, I liked it. I pretty much only drink rum neat or over ice, and this one goes down smoothly. It is on the sweet side, but has nice color, flavors of caramel, vanilla, and cinnamon. However, I've learned that Zacapa is one of the brands that adds additional sugar and color to their rums and that's certainly affected my view of this rum. I received a bottle as a gift and enjoyed drinking it, but I don't buy it for myself anymore.
I prefer more unique and aggressive styles, but I appreciate that a good Solera tends to be very approachable. Easy to drink straight. But, I don't think the additional "Solera years" adds much over a slightly "younger" and cheaper bottle in the style. Anything that sets this apart requires a more subtle palate than mine.
1 of my best rum in my collection, sweet and strong with hint of ?
Actually quite dry and oaky.
"Flavour builds if you leave the rum in your mouth for a little longer allowing it to coat the palate."
Wonderfully intricate with honeyed butterscotch, spiced oak and raisined fruit...

"The interplay between the wood of the barrel and the liquor contents gives the alcohol its flavour, colour and character..."

Decanted, the rum displays a surprising body in the glass for something so apparently light, and has slow and strong legs down the side of the glass.
