Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

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.

Le ''solera 23'' est vraiment excellent. Allez y les yeux fermés. Quant à dire qu'ils abusent sur la dénomination, je ne suis pas d'accord, il n'est écrit nul part que c'est un rhum de 23 ans d'âge.

Mye god rom for pengene og som regel den beste man får kjøpt i Vinmonopolet sine butikker i Norge. I forhold til storebror XO er dette mye for pengene

Love the vanilla, Carmel flavors. Great either on the rocks or neat. Pairs well with many of my cigars

I bought two mini-bottles (50 ml) to try this. After tasting several times before rating, here's my take: smooth and balanced with a classic rum taste and no odd or overpowering flavors. I tried this neat, neat with a little water and on ice and had no complaint. It's pricy and definitely a special occasion rum. Still weighing my price to quality rating but it's no bargain and I wouldn't use it as a mixer.

Well worth the money. Good and smooth. For sipping and enjoying
