Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

I bought this rum duty free about 8 years ago and has been my favourite since. I have come to the conclusion that if you are going to drink rum the best rums are the ones you can drink on the rocks.

This rum has subtle spice and smoky flavours and should only be drunk with ice.

Skal man starte et sted i rom verdenen kommer man ikke uden om denne flaske med bastskørt. En okay rom, med sødme og go smag.

This is pretty much my standard rum, what I serve to guests in a normal setting. It's good enough for the rum snobs, and will wow the typical drinker who doesn't buy the quality rums that can be sipped.

color ambra, deciso al palato con un finale lungo e speziato.
non può mancare in cantina

Sweet spices on the nose, finishes a bit harsh on the throat.

Sure this is a nice rum.
But in this price range I would have expected something more of it.
Zacapa is very popular and indeed a very nice sipping rum and i'm sure I will buy a new bottle in the future, but it's not a must have rum for me.
I'm more curious for the big brother XO, so I will be testing a bottle of that soon.

Teneur en alcool assez forte en bouche, je prefere les rhums plus doux.

A friend recommened this when I asked for a good representative for quality rums. Been drinking standard rums like bacardi and the cheaper variants of Captain Morgan before, mostly in drinks, but this is waaaaaay better!

In my taste this is just an overrated expensice mixer. It tastes of rum yes, but damn there's alot of spirit taste and nose in it aswell. Not my type of sipper, and when you cross 300dkkr then you're not in the mixer area anymore. Not if you ask me atleast.

Great taste (if not for the great spirit taste atleast) but expensive and just to mainstream.

very popular in good bars here in Slovakia but in this price range you should buy Plantation 20-th Anniversary XO instead. It is good sipper IMO.
