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.

An easy drinking sweet rum with a warming flavour. The alcohol comes through when drinking straight.
I thought this would be tastier...not as smooth as less expensive rum.

A good place to start. Sweet and easy to find. Has been my go to rum but will be moving on from it. Might keep a bottle around at the right price.

I received a bottle of this rum from my wife just because she loves me. I must say I was blown away at how tasty this rum is. My nose is not too good at picking all those things out so I won't bother trying.....But the taste, was so sweet and rich, and smooth going down. It does have a bourbon type quality for me and that is even more of a plus. Neat/ An Ice Cube or 2 both work well....I also did try it with a tiny splash of Giner Ale and was not disappointed.

When you're sitting at home and just want something good to enjoy with your favorite show, then the Zacapa 23 Solera is the perfect choice. It has amazing spicy flavour of dark treacle, and isn't too expensive. The only detractor might be that it is slightly too sweet, so you don't want to have this as your only bottle.

I had heard a lot of zacapa. And as i sip, i like it, but i did not love it. So i was a littlebit disapointed because my excpextations where to high.

On the sweet side, apparently the product of fresh sugar cane and honey. A very nice dark amber. Enjoyed neat in a snifter.
Yes it tastes great. No it is not a genuine aged rum. The XO version is IMO less sweet and more what this rum should be, but the 23 has been sweetened to make it more appealing to the American palate. Also, this is not a 23 yr old rum, it is a Solera blend of aged rum the OLDEST of which is 23 yrs, the average age is closer to 6-8 years

First time I try this rum, I found something completly diferent in nose and taste. In nose are vanilla, cocoa and cinamon. In taste cinamon, vanilla and fruit.
