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.

Een rum met een interessant verhaal betreft zijn rijping in 'The House Above The Clouds' ...
Deze rum wordt vaak als goed tot zeer goed aangeprezen. Ik deel deze mening niet. De blend dmv het solera systeem maakt dat deze rum inderdaad zijn smaak, geur en looks, jaar op jaar kan doorgeven.
Ik herken hier echter maar heel weinig tot geen 'oude gerijpte' rum in. Echter 1 druppel van een 23 jarige barrel, maakt dat men er mag '23 jaar gerijpt' op drukken.
Voor mij is dit eerder een middelmatige rum, waar het alcoholgevoel het wint op het smaakgevoel. Is te prijzig voor wat je ervoor krijgt.
Desalniettemin zorgt de goede marketing en positionering voor een grote afzetmarkt. Dat deze dan ook vaak als 'eerste goede rum' bij een beginnend verzamelaar in de collectie staat is niet verwonderlijk.

Awesome dessert! Soft, sweet (almost too sweet, actually...). Caramel, some vanilla, brown sugar. Love it!

I was able to find this at a handful of bars and restaurants. It has a nice smooth taste a little spicy but on the rocks its as good as you will get before spending $100+

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.

You going out to a friends, and need to stop by the store to pick up a great bottle of rum. Odds are this one is sitting their on the shelf. I have seen this bottle in Louisiana (New Orleans, Covington, Slidel, and Hammond), Florida (Sandestin, Panama, Miami, and Tallahassee) , Tennessee (Memphis, Nashville, and, Paris) and Montana (Bozemen) and just about ever liquor store has this wonderful bottle on the shelf. This rum has tons of sweet flavors that take your mouth on a tor of Guatemalan flavor. Now, this rum is by no means the best bottle on the shelf, but odds are, its the best bottle on the shelf at every liquor store in town. With how this rum tastes it is closer to a 7/10 or 7.5/10, but I give it the 8/10 just on the fact that I can find this bottle everywhere. Tastes best straight in small sips.

En god duft at træ, jeg kunne dog godt bruge noget mere sødme.
