Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

Sugar, sugar and sugar. Thats what this rum is. A bit of 23yo rum for audience, rest mix of much younger ones. Did I mentioned sugar? Yes, there is a lot of it inside. You get sweet, pretty smooth rum, but for this price, you can get much better one.

Smell: Vanilla, cane-sugar, toffe

Taste: Sweetness, smooth, caramel, almost no burn.

Very smooth and tasty rum. Probably one of the best rums its price range.

Good spices. Cinnamon and others. Not much of vanilla. Not much of a sweetness. But still very smooth and enjoyable. But... kirk and sweeney 18 is still the best I have tried so far.

Vanilla, caramel, and spice flavors. A bit overpriced considering that it's not truly an aged rum. I would have rather spent my money on something else.

Make an old fashioned with this particular rum. You won’t regret it!

I see that this rum might be one of the better ones, but for me, it was not that exceptional. Nothing bad to say about this one either, though.

Good enough to stand in when the great ones aren't available. Overpriced, wait for a deal... like a big discount at a duty free.

I enjoy a lot this one.
Not a sweet rum. Good flavors and complexity. Have a lot sherry taste and good finish.
Nice with a cigar.
Very expensive in my opinion.

Alot of people bashing this for being too sweet with additives. Nonetheless it is tasty, and not as sweet as Zaya. I like it for a sipper. The 23 label is misleading as well.

I received this as a gift and really enjoy it, it reminds me of Diplomatico, sweet and sippable, great on the rocks. I think most people would enjoy it if they like Ron Centenario or Diplomatico. If you are into rums with more character like Hamilton or Foursqare you might not love this, but I enjoy both genres. It has a sweet flavor with caramel-molasses, ripe fruit and raisin and baking spices. Short finish with some heat.
