had this rum recently

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.

Nice Rum at a good price, great straight, but not so pricey as to cause guilt when mixing with a splash of diet coke

Very sweet and incredibly rich. This rum is more akin to a fortified wine than your average port.

Zacapa 23 leans hard into its flavor profile. For some its not rum, for others its a delicious treat. Personally I am in the latter category. An excellent rum to have after hours to wind down and relax with. The sweet virgin sugar cane really comes through with the caramel and cocoa for me.

Not a bad choice.

For the price it's a good rum. It will amaze you when you are new yo rums and over the years settle down to just being solid! You can't go wrong with it.

Romul cu cel mai intens gust de ciocolata. O prezentare interesanta , o cutie enorma, impletitura de pe sticla ii da o tenta de mister. Scoti dopul si POP , ciocolata ) stafide, caramel si ceva tarie .

in gust se simt iar toate descrise in miros , un alt rom foarte complex cum e si diplomatico rezerva exclusiva dar parca nu se simte la fel de dulce precum diplomatico si asta a face sa il plac mai mult pe acesta . Ar trebui intradevar sa primeasca penalizari pt coloranti si enorma cantitate de zahar adaugata dar incerc sa ma concentrez pe pachet per total, in principal pe gust . Balanseaza bine cu alcoolul , este un rom bun dar mi e greu sa zic daca isi merita banii. Scump!

UPDATE : l am retrogradat de la 9 la 8 pentru cantitatea enorma de zahar , nu mai vorbim de alti aditivi.

I had only drank rum very occasionally in cocktails or coke etc on holiday until one of my friends introduced me to Ron zacapa in the local pub on a night out and started me drinking it more often and thought this was great but a bit expensive but now find like gins there's a range of flavours out there to try so after two bottles and others i seem to be drawn less sweet or artificially flavored ones now from now.

Aye, this rum be crowin' on herself. She be a solid rum, but not the amazin' rum most swabs make her out to be. On the nose, she smells slightly sweet with spices and oak... clearly an aged rum. Fine and true aroma as rum goes! On the tongue, she veers off course a bit. Slightly sweet with a shipload of unexpected flavors, starting with cognac. Arrgh, I'm not partial to cognac, but the flavors went on to include caramel, spices, raisins, a hint of coffee, and unless I am mistook... apple? She be smooth with no burn goin' down the hatch - or after. If you or your crew be into cognac, I strongly recommend givin' this a "shot", but for the price, there be better rums to be had...

I really enjoy this rum in an old fashioned. It is not quite smooth enough to drink straight.

Beautiful nose of vanilla toasted caramel brown sugar and molasses

The pallet is smooth and thick tasting of molasses, vanilla, dark caramel and a nice spice finish.

A sipper not a mixer

В аромате - дерево, ваниль и карамель. Очень мягкий, насыщенный и обволакивающий аромат.
Вкус - карамельно-шоколадная сладость, опять-таки с нотками ванили. Благородная и такая "серьёзная" сладость. В послевкусии - ваниль и карамель. Не сказать, что послевкусие очень долгое, но приятное. Спиртуозность низкая как в аромате, так и во вкусе. В общем, классика как она есть. Беспроигрышный вариант.

Wood, vanilla and caramel in aroma. Very smooth, rich and round. Burnt sugar with some chocolate on the palate, again with vanilla notes - noble and solid sweetness. Aftertaste is also filled with caramel and vanilla - not too long, but pleasant. Spirit harshness is low in both taste and aroma. Rum classics as is. Safe chioce.

Not sweet, but still good, want more molasses. Want more complexity.

Although its a sugar load, I prefer to have a nice mix glass of this with some coke on ice. Not to overpowering and easy to drink 8/10.
