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.

I like the Central American rums. Bought one of this when I was in Costa Rica and did not regret it.

Dlouho jsem pΕ™emΓ½Ε‘lel jestli investuju. UrčitΔ› toho nelituju, tato zacapa je takovΓ‘ svΓ‘. NicmΓ©nΔ› lahev jsme dopijeli namixovanou s kolou. Na me trochu ostΕ™ejΕ‘Γ­, palciva. Mam rad jemnΓ© rumy sladΕ‘Γ­. Urcite si ji dam ale nΔ›kdy znovu.

It's all been said before, but this is not even close to 23 years old, it's coloured and sweetened and you pay for the marketing gimmick.

Other than that, it's drinkable, but way too sweet and one-dimensional for me.

Spicy and strong, with many different flavors. I would definitely buy it again.

my favorite rum so far, along with angostura no 1. I tried the zacapa xo separately and alongside with the 23 and the 23 got just a better price taste ratio. the taste for me is well balanced with a sweet ending.

If this were 30$ a bottle I’d give it a 7…. But at 80$ CAD a bottle I was expecting a much more balanced rum. This is very harsh especially compared to some cheaper counterparts (Havana Club 7 years for example)

Worth a taste but disappointing in my opinion….

Guilty pleasure as there is plenty sugar added however Zacapa is a great bottle to pull out at parties if "the guys" wanna drink rum.

Notes of Caramel, vanille, cinnamon and dried fruites.
