Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

good slipping rum with a good price. I would put it in the middle

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.

Way too sweet, way too flat.
I had low expectorations about Zacapa, and I was still disappointed.

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.

As a whiskey drinker this is my go to summer sipper
