Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

Como de muchos, el primer Ron premium que uno degusta es el ron Zacapa, sin duda alguna es un ron de calidad con un rango dulce y buen cuerpo.
Excelente Ron para comenzar en la prueba de Ron de calidad.

One of my favorites. You won't go wrong with this exceptional aged rum. Maybe a little too sweet but amazing overall.

Doesn't really deserve some of the hate. It is kind of sweet but perfectly balanced in my opinion. A real treat to drink on a hot day or to warm you up during a cold winter night. It's not a XO but it doesn't pretend to be.

Not a big expert on rums yet but this tasted a bit rough. (Don't get me wrong, it's still pretty good rum)

Robe foncée. Belle complexité, on ne sent pas l'alcool en bouche. Très doux avec des aromes de cannelle.

Fra i rum di qualità che ho bevuto è uno dei migliori per serate molto alcoliche!

Nice sipping rum, good on the nose and a fair amount of complexity.

The rum to start with, but also the rum you'll never stop drinking. I see a few claims here that this a not a rum. Don't listen to them, I think that's a ridiculous thing to say! It's important to note that a lot of the reviews here are quite old, and Zacapa have reduced the sugar content from well over 40 grams per liter to about 20. Still quite sugary, but the rum sure has gained a lot of complexity since the change, while still being exceptionally smooth.

At the first sip I took of this I was blown away.After sipping about half the bottle I was a little let down.It got pretty boring.This is an excellent rum for beginners as it's easy to drink.It reminds me of diplomatico reserva but it's not quite as rich.Satisfied that I finally tried this I probably won't repurchase.Priced at $44.99 here at my local liquor store vs $29.99 for Diplomatico.I'll stick with the Diplomatico.

Edit: After trying this on the rocks I change my rating to an 7.5 it's definetly better on the rocks imo.

For those wanting to graduate from Rum & Coke and start drinking rum neat this is a great rum to start with, smooth, slightly sweet and approachable. Value wise it cannot be beaten compared to what a comparable whisk(e)y will set you back.
