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 did not find anything special about this rum. I liked it but not enough to buy another bottle, still have half left and it has been over 2 years. There is better Rum for less money.

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.

This is one of my first sipping rums and although I am a rookie I can see what all the hype is about.. beautiful dark carmel color, nice sweet toffee notes on the nose, long legs..and when you finaly reward yourself with a sip.. you cant help but go for another..sweet velvety flavour with hardly no burn is what you get.. can't complain. A must

if you hadn't previously drank the original RZ 23, you would be forgiven for thinking this was a superb rum. However it's a poor cousin to its predecessor.

I did expect more for this rum, as all is talking so good about it.
It is really good for a mixer, not straight up for me.

contrairement à ce qu on peut croire, il n a pas 23 ans d age... sa maturation est effectuée selon le système solera sur 23 étages.
ceci dit un bon rhum de melasse, plusieurs epices sont détectables, le gout du rhum qu on aime est bien présent. pour moi il manque de caractère pour recevoir un 8.

Yes it tastes great. No it is not a genuine aged rum. The XO version is IMO less sweet and more what this rum should be, but the 23 has been sweetened to make it more appealing to the American palate. Also, this is not a 23 yr old rum, it is a Solera blend of aged rum the OLDEST of which is 23 yrs, the average age is closer to 6-8 years
