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.

After many a Havana club & coke Zacapa 23 was the rum that started me on drinking rum straight. I hear the critics about the actual age etc. Still to me its all about taste and and Zacapa has it in abundance. My go to sipping rum.

I liked this very much and I wish I could give it 7.5, it's just not quite an 8 in my book. The age and solera process gives it all the good flavor you want. I would never turn down the opportunity to drink it, but with limited space in my cabinet I would restock with something else.

The rum could be better. There is a bit of an after taste. I guess that it may be good for a ixer

In view of the mixed reviews I wasn't sure what to expect. I did not find it smooth at first but after giving it a second shot I start really to enjoy it. The long flavour is sweet but not too sweet, with some flavours of vanilla, almond, chocolate, cacao. A very good rum imo, but I am looking forward to taste the XO.

Un de mes premiers rhums. Assez sec comparé à bcp de rhum liquoreux. Des arômes très subtils. A avoir dans on bar !

Exquisite rum experience, well worth the price (€50 - €55 at Carrefour stores near me). On the sweet side, but a perfectly balanced sweetness for many of us, with subtle flavours that intrigue. It's said that, while many low-price whiskies are quite satisfying when drunk straight, low-price or even medium-price rums are usually too rough to sip directly ... but in contrast, some high-price rums are better than any whisky, with levels of subtlety to rival great French wines, and giving a fullness of palate pleasure no whisky could ever rival. Ron Zacapa 23 is one of those rums you can use to argue this case. Wonderful.

Probably one of the sweetest rums I've tasted and incredibly smooth, not sure if it's as sweet as the Zaya. Was a little disappointed to learn the the colors and sweetness are added, but it is an overall pleasant rum to be sipping with it's vanilla and caramel tones.
