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.

A great smooth rum, a little bit of sweetness flavored with caramel and vanilla. Definitely a must try, I find it a little expensive, would compare it to El Dorado 15, but would definitely choose ED15.
Pil jsem hodně dávno a tehdy mi rumy ještě moc neříkaly. Nyní jej mám nachystaný k opětovnému ochutnání a zhodnocení. Tak uvidíme :)

Sweetish, soft, balanced, not alcoholic, without any development throughout testing. Suitable for drinking in company, but expensive a little bit.
Ничего особенного, дороговат, переоценен. Чуда не случилось.

This rum has added sugar and it shows, but it opens up nicely with an ice cube or two to become a pleasant sipper. If you’re inexperienced and intimidated by rum, but looking for a “gateway rum” to cut your teeth on, this one may fit the bill. I don’t like the deceptive 23 on the bottle because Solera is actually a blend of multiple rums where 23 is the oldest but the average is 8. Not a deal breaker by a long shot, but stuff to know in the spirit of full disclosure. You could do worse.
Extremely smooth is my strongest impression, refined in taste, vanilla and cask. For those who prefer not to demanding taste this is it. Great Rum and a good experience. Recommended.

This rum is as much the base line to critic a lot of molasses rums as well as maybe the easiest entrance to the world of rums.

I read it has a lot of additives. Nonetheless it was a quite lovely rum.
Einer meiner absoluten Favoriten! Nicht zu süß und sehr gehaltvoll.

The first thing I noticed upon opening the bottle was a super sweet candy floss smell, which did not linger once it was poured into the glass. In the glass it is a dark amber colour which is pleasing. The rum itself is sweet, bit not as sweet as say Diplomatico RE, and very drinkable. Drinkable sums up this rum. Very nice for a sweeter rum, but lacks the complexity I would like at this price point. A Pampero Anniversario or Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva does everything this rum does at half the price or less. Cocktail shown is a Ruby of the Sea from YouTube's How to Drink.

Alkohol: 40 %
Aroma: První dojem je tak kávový, že mi hned připomněl Kahlúu. Tedy naprosto stejný první dojem jako u Malteco 15y, také z Guatemaly, až si říkám, zda tyto dvě značky nejsou provázané nějak víc... Vůně je nádherně hutná, silná a bohatá, plná, výrazná, plná kůže a čokolády, rozinky, med, lehký závan hřebíčku, propolis, vůně včelínu, rámečky z pláství. Ve sklence po odpaření syntetická barva na kůži, hutná, zemitá. (95 b)
Chuť: Nasládlý, ale ne tak moc, jako jsem čekal. Úplné pohlazení na jazyku, poté trochu vystrčí růžky alkohol. Velmi uhlazený, není nic, co bych mohl vytknout. Med, rozinky, ledové víno, káva. Dochuť kávově-kožená, úplná delikatesa. (93 b)
Shrnutí: Tohle je dříve nebo později povinnost pro každého, kdo to s rumy myslí vážně. Pro úplné rumové začátečníky bych ho snad ani nedoporučoval, aby dokázal degustátor docenit jeho přednosti.
