Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

It was my first good rum I have drunk, but it is not worth the money it has strong taste and definitely not a aged rum because of Solera method.

At its price it's a very well made rum and delivers a satisfying sipping experience with sweetness, warmth, caramel, bitter-sweet chocolate and raisins. Good value and certainly worth a try.

nez bannane flambe, caramel ,vanille , gourmand.
bouche gourmand et pâtissier caramel foncé très vite rataper par le boiser a la première gorgée, moins au suivante qui s estompe et fait revenir une longueur sur les fruit , légèrement poivré , fini sur le miel crémeux assez longtemps

Bit sweet but a very drinkable rhum. A welcomed addition to most rhum cabinets.

Un excelente ron para disfrutar puro o en las rocas. Sería un sacrilegio mezclarlo. Fácil de tomar, en boca dulce con toques de higo, caramelo y frutos secos. Vale la pena.

Sweet and spicy taste. Close to being my favourite so far. Need some more comparing the taste... ;-)

The best on the Zacapa 23 Solera is it's smell. The taste is good, but good means nothing special. What I do not like, is that alcoholic afterburn, which I didn't expected. It's often compared to Diplomatico RE, because they are in the same prize level (at least here in Czech Republic), but for me, DIplomatico RE is much higher. I would compare Zacapa 23 Solera with for ex. El Dorado 12 in the terms of this alcoholic afterburn, but El dorado costs 25% less. This means, the bottle is a bit overprized.

73/100

Great aromas present themselfs straigh from the moment the cork is popped! Great sipping on the rocks but better with a dash of cola

I can't say enough good things about this rum, I love the mouthfeel...almost like syrup. HUGE Bold flavor, I never understood the ''leather'' comment until this bottle. When I smell the glass after its gone it smells like my old baseball glove covered in honey while smoking a swisher sweet lol. Some people say this is too sweet but I can't say that, the huge flavors and alcohol burn definitely balance this one out. Finished the bottle in 3 sittings and can't wait to compare to the xo. Tried with Ice but it hides too much of the flavor.
