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.

I rate my rum on the after taste. Should not be to bitter but nice and smooth. I rated the diplomatica reserva exclusiva a 10 and this one comes really close for me and therefor the high score.

I like sweet rums. Good price quality ratio.

I love Zacapa 23. It's my tried and true. A touch of sweetness for a long finish.

I was a little worried when I opened this and smelled nothing. Sipping it redeemed it a bit. Baking spices, rasins, and a little vanilla. Good but not as good as I was expecting.

This rum is good, but in my honest opinion I feel like this has been hyped up too much. I rated it an 8 and I like more sweeter rums like Zaya or Papa's Pilar. It's similar in taste but for about $20 dollars less I can have Zaya and it's better.

En ok rom men alt for overvurderet efter min mening

Intense et légèrement liquoreux.

As one of the popular reviews on thus site says this is a bit overly sweet. The XOs cognac finish really stands over the 23 which lacks the character and complexity. If you can afford it go the XO over this otherwise go for an El Dorado or similar over this

Här finns det mycket av det goda, lite spritig men som sagt mycket god ändå, inte som diplomatica

Tady nebudu objektivní. Jde o můj nejoblíbenější rum. Co k tomu říct více?

I was very curious to try this one and actually it has a too strong burn for me at the end.

But with ice it is very enjoyable!! Smooth and nice!!

When I got my hands on a bottle of this I was very excited. I opened this at a rum tasting with friends at the same time we all taste Diplomatico. Needless to say no-one preferred the Zacapa 23. It has a very strong alcohol hit that seems at odds with the claim for a blended 23 year old. Even so my whiskey drinking partner still preferred the Diplomatico.

I'm giving it a 6 because it should be a 7 if it weren't so expensive. It is still a relatively impressive cocktail rum in the end.
