Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

Another one available in the restaurants/clubs nearby, in most cases the best one they have. Very sweet, nice taste and smell, smooth and long finish.

I've heard people raving and complaining about this rum for years, so I just had to finally buy a bottle and experience it for myself. Nothing spectacular about the bottle, the colour or the scent. I've tried it straight, with ice and mixed with coke, and although all variations were quite nice, I have to agree with the complain camp. This stuff would have been so much better if it hadn't been so sweet(ened). I've heard the Zacapa XO is much better, basically a more matured and less sweetened version. I'm not going to buy that one, because the price is sky-high. The truth is, at this price range, the 23 Solera should have been what the XO is claimed to be . There's no doubt I'm going to finish and enjoy the bottle, but it is a bit of a con, really.

Kicsit túlságosan szeretik errefelé, illetve nálink ez lett a rendes rum szinonímálya, pedig ezt nem érdemelte ki

Good Sweet classic rum. I like the sweetness in this one.

This was my first sipping rum. The flavor is deep and complex. Yes, it is sweet but that means it can be used in cocktails.

In a rum tasting of sweet rums this one came out first for me. It's sure is sweet, but i like the layers in the mouth. I'm a long time fan of diplomatico and was very suprised that this one is my new favourite.

I get a hint of chocolate, but the girlfriend thinks I'm crazy lol

La couleur très brune m’a fait penser a un spicy mais son côté mielé lui apporte une douceur incroyable. A la fois très agréable et très complexe

For the money there are so many other more exiting bottles.

This Solera "Aged" Rum is quite good. It's not my favorite rum but it is pretty damn good. It has no burn or bite (smooth and mild) and a decent but not particularly complex, fairly sweet flavor (it smells sweet too.) It's similar to Diplomatico in nearly every regard, which isn't surprising considering they're both essentially made the same way. I absolutely recommend trying it (buy a glass) but given it's cost, I would just buy a bottle of Diplomatico as it's a bit better in my opinion (syrup vs. cane) and it's definitely cheaper.
