Guatemala | Aged | 40% ABV | Column Still (1-4)

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.

Een rum die jarenlang exclusief was voor de eigenaren van de distilleerderij, een lang bewaakt recept die nu opnebaar is gemaaky zodat iedereen deze prachtige rum mag proeven!

Het rijpingsproces is uniek van deze rum en geeft deze haar karakteristieke eigenschappen, na distillatie wordt de rum overgegoten in Amerikaanse eikenhouten vaten om te rusten en te rijpen. Dit gebeurt in Bodegas op een hoogte van maar liefst 2,5 kilometer boven NAP waar de temperaturen laag zijn zodat er een minimale hoeveelheid van de kostbare rum ten koste gaat aan verdamping. Door dit proces is het mogelijk dat de rum voor de ontzettend lange periode van 23 jaar kan rijpen.

De donkerbruine amberkleur van de rum wordt omringd door mooie afgeronde aroma’s en het smakenpalet is zo ontzettend complex en gevarieerd, maar tegelijkertijd ook elegant en prachtig in balans gebracht.

Expert en kenners zijn er over eens dat deze rum behoort tot de top, sommigen durven zelfs te stellen dat dit de beste rum is ter wereld. Ron Zacapa Centenario 23 Year heeft dan ook de nodige prijzen gewonnen die zijn reputatie kracht bijzetten;

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.

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 !
