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 bought this bottle because of it's GREAT RATINGS, but it is not for my palate. Very oaky, strong flavored rum. I would guess this is what GOOD rum is supposed to be like, but I will not get another. I have found cheaper, more pleasant rums.

To proclaim that this is the worlds best rum, I would say, is an exaggeration... It was at one point, but a lot has happened since this guy was nr. 1. Not to say that this is a bad rum. This is a nice rum. Lovely sweet nose with banana, toffee and vanilla. The taste is interesting... Smoke, butter, caramel. Smooth feel and a long taste. Zacapa is very fast to proclaim its place in rum history. Maybe that's why the expectations doesn't mach the product. But still a nice rum for the buck.
After viewing all the YouTube videos and reading all the reviews, I was expecting a heavy taste but what I got after adding a splash of H2O was a taste of molasses, vanilla, and nutmeg. A taste not over bearing or too sweet. I don't drink everyday, but when I do I like to pair the spirit with a mild to medium cigar to enhance the overall experience

Delicioso y rico, sólo Zacapa lo puede hacer! Un toque de cultura maya con el petatillo de palma lo hacen más llamativo todavía!
Un rum molto addomesticato per piacere al primo assaggio. L'aggiunta di caramello è molto evidente.
Tutto questa dolcezza sembra artificiale. Da subito alla testa quindi qualcosa non va. Comunque sicuramente un buon rum.
This rum is a solera edition of the real 23 years zacapa and you can taste it instantly, much sweeter and aftertaste is good, but short and sweet.
Good beginner rum

Well balanced rum, maybe the alcoholic attack is a bit too strong at low temperature... Spicy and sweet, sipping approved.

My cousin showed me his bottle but would not share. I had to buy my own bottle to see what the hullabaloo was all about. It was worth the wait.
