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.

Es un ron para disfrutar una o dos cubas. Son de eso rones que te pueden dejar una gran resaca, creo q esta sobre valorado en relación precio sabor
I've come to find out that I like all rums made through the Solera system. Very smooth with a rich aftertaste and warm fuzzy feeling in my chest. Preferred on the rocks.

Taste of tobacco, honey and nuts.
Spiced rum and easy to drink but the taste is not equivalent to the reputation.
Pros: Overall good rum. Not so sweet.
Cons: I don't like too much alcohol-smell of liqueurs. One can also buy better rum for 2/3-3/4 price. A little bitter for my taste.

I was expecting more from this rum. It wasn't bad at all, but there was nothing memorable about it. Just an ordinary rum.

A fabulous rum for those that want a treat. Smooth as silk, great flavour and best served over ice with apple Wood smoke infusion (as served on Celebrity Eclipse).

De meningen lopen nogal wat verdeeld over Zacapa Systema Solera 23. Voor mij is dit zeker een Rum die je moet proeven. ideaal voor de beginnende rum drinker, en geliefd bij onze vrouwelijke genieters.
Mooie diepbruine mahonie kleur, met een zeer breed pallet aan zwoele aroma's, gedroogd fruit, eik, vanille, coco, en chocolade. in de mond weerom zwoel & warm, gedroogd fruit, hout, bruine caramel, donkere honing. deze Rum mag niet ontbreken in jouw selectie.

I could not give this super popular rum 8/10. It is heavy. But once drunk the taste and effect of this novel seemed to me pleasant. All the more reason to give it a decent 7/10.
Prvotridni rum. Jemnejsi chut, ne nejak vyjimecna, skvela vune

An easy drinking sweet rum with a warming flavour. The alcohol comes through when drinking straight.

Ron Zacapa 23 Solera Gran Reserva 40% (Guatemala)
Eye: Light amber with green lip
Nose: Very sweet, round and even nose with a fine mix of marzipan, dark and light chocolate, butter scotch, honey, treacle, dates, apricot and lots of embrowned butter. A veritable fat sugar chock! At next nose there are a faint gun powder scent and vanilla, new cut tobacco and oiled teak. Very smooth, very sweet.
Mouth: Again, very sweet, sticky and rather short. Appealing ethanol at the end. Honey, marzipan and quince. A tad unrefined, on the verge of being simple. It´s not without its´ point but tend to appear as simplistic with a clear taste of pure sugar.
Reaction: Very difficult to define the nuances apart from what has already been said. It tastes alright and I am certain there are times it suits well if something sweet is needed, but really, that´s it. At the same time I pour again and again. It´s very drinkable but for the same reason I eat too much candy. The price is affordable and the access very good. It was one of the first rum I tasted and at that time I found it to be delicious so maybe I just had a bad day grading it.
