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.

Baking Spices, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon a little oak & sweet. Mouthwatering in smell and flavor. Brown sugar and toffee round out the party. Very nice...Must try.

My first tasting was very satisfying.
I bought it without tasting and was surprising pleased with how smooth it tasted.
Definitely one for the tasting cart.

On the nose I can feel cinnamon with apples, but I do not feel it in mouth. Tastes are difficult to define with ethanol and sugar burn, but after all, Zacapa is sweet, easy to buy and drink, but for me little bit overpriced rum, 6/10, for color, bottle and packaging - 7/10
This is a decent blend (not a real 23yr though). It's robust and not very sweet but not dry either. Oak smell and taste is nice but not overpowering. A bit on the expensive side for what it is but got it much cheaper on black friday !

I was gifted this rum for my Birthday and I enjoyed it very much. Always smooth and tasty. Definitely sweet, which, as I said, I like.

"Premium" rum loaded with sugar. Taste it close to other serious options (for the same price or even much less money) and you'll notice a big difference. Heavy caramel notes and overwelmingly sweetness are all that I remember from drinking it neat.
3/10 because it is a mixing rum advertised as a quality sipping rum.

Its sweet but the sweetness isn't over the top. Good combination of brown suger, vanilla, caramel, and oak. One of the most balance rums I have found. My only criticism is I consider the use of the new charred oak in the aging process a negative. You can taste the char on the finish.
