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.

After trying the new Solera 23, I was disappointed. This rum is a shadow of its former greatness. No longer a 23 year old rum, it has been cheapened for mass production. The flavor profile used to be exquisite, now is just another rum in the market.

I was very excited when I found a bottle of Ron Zacapa Solera 23 at my local store.
Nice bottle nice pour beautiful color, strong alcohol scent hit me harder than expected. But after it sat it became enjoyable.
In the mouth. Some heat up front with molasses, nuts I get a bit if citrus. Smooth finish a little peppery. Over all a good rum but there are better rums for the money.

The flavors start out harsh for my standards, but great coppery color, enjoy it neat!

Dejlig rom som kan nydes uden is og ved stue temperatur. En af årsagerne til at den er så lækker er fordi master blenderen i Guatemala er en kvinde:-D

The Ron Zacapa 23 was the second rum that i tastet. Nice rum. The flavor is deep and balanced.I like Ron Zacapa 23 but not as much as Dictador or Diplomatico.

Zacapa is something you would love on a special occasion without ruining your budget. Extremely smooth and has a very nice finish. Could be slightly too sweet for some though.

I like the Zacapa a lot but you have similar rums for a cheaper price (El Dorado for example) if you ask me.

Zacapa Solera 23 is truely the reference rhum. It has a nice body, it has a silky texture, and a very sweet taste. (brown sugar, caramel, a hint of cooking spices).

This one opened my eyes to what a truly great experience rum can be! Sipped slowly, the Zacapa 23 was smooth, flavorful, and full of body. The sting was light on the back of my throat and the burn was warm and very soothing. Sweet, but not overly so. Highly recommended!

This rum is sweet and smooth in the mouth, but lacks depth and complexity of flavour. I was a little disappointed.
