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.

I tastwd two glasses of this rum, it didn't feel like much alcohol, which I actually didn't mind, since it did have a nice flavour and a pretty well rounded, smooth feeling to it. Would definitely recommend, it also feels like a good one to show someone who's unfamiliar with rum.

I am a rum novice and in the past have primarily mixed my rum (Morgan's Black) with Coke or Dr. Pepper. In the last few years I've tasted a number of different types and brands and have found that I like the sweeter spiced and dark rums. I'm still learning to identify the different layers and aromas, but found this one to be sweet and a little smokey.

Bought this bottle and Gosling's Old Rum in the same purchase. Pretty disappointed in how overly sweet both ended up being. The Zacapa wins out in the end with its greater balance of complex flavor, but what a bummer both bottles ended up being! So much sugar!

I love this rum... So smooth and combined with my Guatemala-memories for me unbeatable so far!
What a bunch of snooty, jaded be-hatches around these parts! Ok, they add some sugar, okay it's 6-23 years, not just 23. But this bottle is the very definition of a sipper: rich, luscious, complex, with no burn. One of the best in its price range.
Nice smooth rum. Well rounded in caramel, and plum flavors. The finish holds the same aftertaste with some hints of toffee and cinnamon for Sweet and spicy but soft finish.
The sweetness can become overwhelming so 3 glasses per evening max is enough.

This is rum for the masses!
Try this, then if you like it, try Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva. Its similar, and same price, but cooler bottle and less known =hipsterpoints.

Altough nothing's really wrong with this rum, it doesn't behold a charm. The solera system fakes the ageing process in my eyes and it makes this supposed quality to artificial.

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