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.

In terms of price / quality ration this is my overall winner so far. Straight, for some maybe a bit too sweet but still very good.

Mit diesem Rum hat meine Leidenschaft für dieses Getränk angefangen. Einer der Besten :-)

Il en faut pour tous les goûts mais on est plus proche d'une liqueur de rhum très doux, trop de sucre, la version XO en revanche est réellement plus adapté à un amateur de vieux rhum.

It is really smooth all the time, a little sweet in the middle, and slightly astringent for the palates in the pre-finish phase and with a significant caramel finish! Really quality drink !!!

Similar to Diplomatico reserva exclusiva but with less sugar and a better balance. Be careful this is not a 23 years rum but a blend of rum. I bought the bottle but did not see it was a blend. Nothing compared to a XO. It is easy to drink and slightly more complex than Diplomatico reserva exclusiva. Bottom line, good digestive rum but not something unforgettable

I love this rum. It is so versatile, wonderful with a splash of coke or just sublime with ice. Smooth as silk from start to finish.

Personally, I believe this Ron Zacapa to be great when making a rum sour. I cannot mix it with Sprite like I do some of my other rums, considering it is not as sweet as the other rums I typically enjoy. It would probably go better with Coke, but I haven't had Coke in awhile. Maybe I will try it one day.

For me, I fine rum. Smooth taste with a hint of plums, later on a hint of honey. A bit too sweet. Aftertaste goes on for a long time. Prefer it without ice

I originally received this as a gift and have bought several since. I drink this instead of vsop cognac.

First of all. I'm not a fan of rum's that seems filtered through sugar-canes in the bottling process. To be blunt, this rum is not at all living up to it's reputation.

I do however approve of this rum as a type of dessert. I'm imagining it being a good addition to a scoop of vanilla ice-cream. But for sipping in front of the fireplace, i would go for a much less sweet rum.

This version of Zacapa is allowed to drink in any way of the consumer preferred, but it should not be marketed indicating 23 years, I think it is more related to one of 10 years
