Ron Zacapa 23 Solera rum

Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

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.

Verdens Bedste Rom. Så enkelt kan det siges. Og det er bestemt ikke helt uden grund. Denne rom har gået sin sejrsgang over hele verden og specielt de 4 første pladser fra 1998 til 2001 i The International Rum Festival gav genlyd. Den er i øvrigt også den første til at blive optaget i Hall of Fame for rom. Rom'en stammer fra en lille by af samme navn

Smooth and delicious. Unless I'm having a mixed drink (which is rare and in which case I wouldn't use this rum) this is my go to rum served neat in a brandy snifter. Maybe on a hot night outside with a cigar I'll drink on the rocks but then it must be done quickly so as not to let the ice ruin it.

Nez très alcoolisé assez désagréable.
Attaque en bouche franche. Finale longue mêlant bois et vanille. Hmmm !

Nachdem ich den Unhiq und den Opthimus Malt Whiskey probiert habe, ist dieser leider, obwohl sehr gut, nur noch eine 8.

Beste Grüße

I have a hard time placing this one. This rum is somewhat similar in profile to Pampero aniversario. Similar burnt wood notes and flavor depth but not as sweet. Zacapa also hits some earthy notes similar to JM VSOP but not as bold in this sense as agricoles are. At the beginning I said I have a hard time placing it, but I can tell you that I sure enjoy the flavor.

It's sweeter than other rums, anyway very enjoyable for beginners or tasters that like the sweet-like sensation.. good Ron

A nice dark color with good taste and texture. Exactly what I expected from Zacapa.

Yes it tastes great. No it is not a genuine aged rum. The XO version is IMO less sweet and more what this rum should be, but the 23 has been sweetened to make it more appealing to the American palate. Also, this is not a 23 yr old rum, it is a Solera blend of aged rum the OLDEST of which is 23 yrs, the average age is closer to 6-8 years

This rum is good, but in my honest opinion I feel like this has been hyped up too much. I rated it an 8 and I like more sweeter rums like Zaya or Papa's Pilar. It's similar in taste but for about $20 dollars less I can have Zaya and it's better.
