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.

Despite my best efforts, it's good and a nice one to recommend for people who haven't ventured into rum.

Like others, I'm less than enthused both with their failure to label the extra sugar added and with the solera style in general. I'm a Richard Seale disciple so solera isn't my favorite labeling mechanism.

That being said, it's hard to deny that this is well done, even if it is a little on the sweeter side.

In a rum tasting of sweet rums this one came out first for me. It's sure is sweet, but i like the layers in the mouth. I'm a long time fan of diplomatico and was very suprised that this one is my new favourite.

La couleur très brune m’a fait penser a un spicy mais son côté mielé lui apporte une douceur incroyable. A la fois très agréable et très complexe

For the money there are so many other more exiting bottles.

This Solera "Aged" Rum is quite good. It's not my favorite rum but it is pretty damn good. It has no burn or bite (smooth and mild) and a decent but not particularly complex, fairly sweet flavor (it smells sweet too.) It's similar to Diplomatico in nearly every regard, which isn't surprising considering they're both essentially made the same way. I absolutely recommend trying it (buy a glass) but given it's cost, I would just buy a bottle of Diplomatico as it's a bit better in my opinion (syrup vs. cane) and it's definitely cheaper.

U mňa super, táto rodina nesklamala. Aróma, chuť, všetko v poriadku.

I've seen a bunch of reviews for this rum which are hyper-critical about how sweet it is and such. That said, I for sure have a sweet tooth when it comes my drinks. So, I tend to enjoy the sweeter sipping rums. This rum is smooth and has tons of flavor. Perfect for a novice rum sipper like me.

Хороший ром, но ожидания были явно выше. Нет ярких воспоминаний и желания попробовать еще

Complex, deep, burned, sweet, nice to sip and a stable rum

Together with the plantation XO the best rum I’ve had so far.

Beautiful color and texture. Vanilla and honey in the scent. Smooth and soft to the tongue. Nicely balanced sweetness. Hitting the sweet spot between a sweet honey and a darker chocolate tasting rum.
