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.

This is one of the smoothest rums I have ever had. Hints of Vanilla and Caramel. Very good and Very smooth, will not disappoint.
There were mixed reviews on this and thought I would give it a try. On the nose it has a very strong whiff of rubbing alcohol. Kind of like Bacardi Black was what came to mind. Followed by hints of brown sugar and caramel.
Flavor is on the sweet side, with hints of oak, vanilla and caramel. Better on the rocks than neat. I have not tried mixing it but I can see it going well with a splash of Coke.
I was really hoping this was going to be a great rum but I am a little disappointed. It does not live up to the hype. It's good but not great.
A Lovely bottle of rum if you like them sweeter...

This sits toward the low end of the Zacapa offerings, and it's obvious why. On the plus side, it's not too sweet, Nor does it have an overwhelming molasses taste. It's just a little dark and brooding. The finish is a little bitter.
Cola flavoured. I dont like that it says zacapo 23 meaning that it has rum that is 23 yr old but then when you read closer it says its a blend. Its a sweet rum and would never use it to mix because its exspensive.

My son bought this because he did not research or read the label properly. He thought that it was good value for a 23 year old rum. Haha! We had a good laugh about that. lesson learned.
This has a lot of not so good things going on. Overly back-sweetened, lacks complexity, oaky finish without the benefits of oak derived ester profiles in the middle of the tasting (caramel, vanilla etc).
So many better rum offerings are available in this price range or lower.

Very nice smooth creamy sipping rum, good for beginners. A little to much sugar for my taste. But still enjoy a glass every now and then. Chocolate, caramel, vanilla and maybe som coffe notes in there.

Always know what to expect with this one. Slightly too sweet but enjoyable as a sipper none the less.

Delicioso y rico, sólo Zacapa lo puede hacer! Un toque de cultura maya con el petatillo de palma lo hacen más llamativo todavía!
