Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

If you live in Canada then this is likely the smoothest rum you can buy.

Exceptionally smooth with a fairly sweet aftertaste. At $80 a bottle you would be crazy to mix this.

My second favourite sipping rum after Diplomatico Reserve/

I just finished my first bottle of this and I am impressed. This is an easy drinker with a nice finish. Yes it's not a 23 year old but for $70 CAD I was satisfied and will buy again

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;

Was expecting more from a 23 year old rum. Wouldn't buy this again. There are way better rums out there for much less

De sabor intenso, para mi gusto muy invasivo sobre todo por que se toma en las rocas

It tastes really good, but I thought it would be sort of mind-blowing. Glad I got it as a present. I would rather drink a rum that is less known instead of paying for the name.

This is an excellent rum. It runs a little on the sweet side. So, if that's not your preference you may not enjoy it as much.

It's a complex taste with vanilla, some spice and a bit of oak. The color is very caramel and the body has good legs.

The nose is a bit to medical/alcoholic and this is what I find Zacapa Solera 23's weakness. It also affects the aftertaste a bit.

It's also a beautiful bottle, although I'd trade that for ugly if it were $10 less expensive.

Reading other reviews there are complaints about just how aged it really is. I don't know and don't care. I do know how smooth it is and that's what counts. Perhaps Zaya is a bit smoother but it lacks the complexity and full body of Zacapa.

Money aside, if I have to pick only 1 bottle of rum for my "last meal" Zacapa Solera 23 is going to be 1 of the top 3 I'll be choosing from.

I’ve downgraded this from a 9 to an 8. As I’ve sampled more, I’ve concluded the alcohol smell is higher than too many others. What once was a top five is now a secondary choice.

I love the Ron Zacapa Solera 23! I always keep a bottle in the cabinet and truly enjoy its flavor on the rock, straight up, or at times with coke. This one is truly a must try for yourself and form your own opinion on. For me, a great rum for a great price.

dont get me wrong, its still good one, smoothy with good descent, but after all i read, i expected something more. I couldnt find the sweetness while they said its one of the sweetest rums. on the other side, if i compare price and taste outcome, there are better, thats why giving 7, not 8.
like the other one said: Yes it tastes great. No it is not a genuine aged rum.

gout fin, sans le coté agressif de l'alcool, doux, vanillé, je le conseille vivement pour rentrer dans le monde complexe et fort sympathique des rhums.
