Guatemala | Aged | 40% ABV | Column Still (1-4)
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.

One of my top 5 rums. It has a powerful start and smooth finish. The bottling is fantastic. Feels like it was dug from the sands of a Caribbean island.

Not complex and the flavor that is there doesn't stay around very long. XO is far better and I would go for lots of other rums in my cabinet before I go for this. An ice sphere makes this drink come alive but don't let it dilute too much or it will start to become nothingness

One of the smoothest and well balanced rums in my collection.

One of the better rums out there! Mixing it is a shame! Smooth and flavourful. A must-try for sure.

Not nearly the strength of the old days. this rum is still a crowdpleaser. Sweet and balanced. But very linear/ almost too sweet.

I enjoy it completely one was just a find I grabbed from duty free and became a Favourite
Doesn't have the nose that others do, but very smooth. Initially was slighly dissappointed by after drinking for awhile now, I have come to appreciate this one more. I can never have one glass of this stuff. So smooth.

This was the first aged rum I tried, and it was love at first sight, amazing taste, it made me see rum in a completely different way and made me realized what i was missing. I consider this to be one of the best rums I have tried so far, it really has a presence and became famous for it, the combination of flavors, the aroma and how it feels in your mouth, once you have the first sip is difficult not to have a second one.

Ive noticed this blend is not always consistent, usually from storage factors. When it has been allowed extensive time to breath, it can be a really enjoyable complex sipper. It is a great rum, but I save this one for call glasses out - almost always reflect the deep flavor after settling.
