Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

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.

This was my starting point to the world of rums. Still one of the best...

Qui lo Zacapa inizia a farsi Signore, pur strizzando sempre l'occhio al grande pubblico.
I sapori si fanno complessi.
E più si lascia riposare più assume "corpo".
Il caramello è pur sempre presente e un sovrasta gli altri sapori.
Fumoso. Legno di botte bruciato.
Caffé a tratti.
Vaniglia e mandorle tostate nel finale.
Spesso servito accompagnato da cioccolato che un po' ne copre la complessità.
Meglio al naturale, prendendosi il tempo di scoprirlo.

It needs to be in everyone's cabinet, it's good on the rocks and for the not so much rum drinkers you won't be too upset if they mix it with Coke or juice.. It's a decent starter rum for sure.. I recommend it over ice
