had this rum recently

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 was also swayed by the reviews here, so I bought a bottle. In my opinion, this rum is not that good. Too sweet and it lacks a pleasing finish. It packs an alcohol punch. If you can legally buy Cuban Rum, similarly priced Ron Santiago de Cuba 12 years is superior. If you cannot buy Cuban rum and you want the solera process, Santa Teresa 1796 Solera is legal in the U.S. and is far superior.

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.

I don´t really get this rum, everybody seems to love it! But i think it is just plane and boring. Not recommended. For near the same money you can get the Plantation Barbados Extra Old 20th Anniversary instead!

Un très bon rhum auquel j'attribue la même note que le XO.
Y'a du caramel, également de la vanille, c'est vrai mais pas seulement !
Il est épicé et subtil. Le nez est très agréable, pas alcooleux, il tient en bouche... C'est un grand rhum.
