Ron Zacapa 23 Solera

Rumanilo avatar image had this rum recently

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.

Une note 6 car c'est quand même une qualité ce Zacapa 23, mais je trouve que le caramel est trop marqué en bouche, il cache presque le gôut du Rhum à mon sens.
Le déguster chez des amis pourquoi pas, mais pour moi je ne l’achèterai pas.

Nice good long taste.
A good burn and not too much.
Nice flavor still i find plantation a bit nicer.
But i like sweet so its just a bit under but the longness of its is very good.

Nose: Sweet, dark fruits, some sherry and some cola syrup/cola bottle confectionery, maybe cherry cola. There is some nice runny honey and milk chocolate too. Deep down there is a smoky element, maybe some cigar box or pipe tobacco and some roasted nuts.

Palate: Sweeeet. Thick and big mouth feel, but very sweet – more than I was expecting given the sugar tests. Brown sugar, oranges…no, marmalade and some banana. There is a distinct taste of Pint Pots/beer bottle sweeties that you used to have as a kid and a bit of cola. Once the sugar coating goes there is actually some depth to this; musty, forest floors/rancio and maybe some aniseed.

Finish: Quite long, more long than medium. Still some sweetness and a bit of banana/orange combo, but there are lots of spicy prickles. Oaky buzz, aniseed, mint, and that tobacco.

first choice in pub after a few beers:) nothing special in this moment but high standard for all rums and you can find it everywhere for good price mostly.

Some sweetness, and quite easy. A complex taste with some smoke, nuts, dried fruit and a liquorice finish.

It's right in the top tier. An excellent sipper that is only exceeded by the special editions.

This is one of my favorite rums in this price range($45 locally here). Smooth but not overly sweet, a little heat but not overbearing.

Zacapa is "just" Zacapa. It is a very specific rum which you would recognize if I would wake you up in the middle of níght. For me in this case, word specific doesn't also mean splendid.

After drinking a glass of rum in a high class club for 25€!!!!! ,I decided to buy a bottle of zacapa23. Now I could enjoy a very nice rum for a normal price. This is my first rum but certainly not the last! Meanwhile i've got five other rums in my cabinet, (matusalem xo,diplomatico reserva exclusiva ,havanna seleccion de maestros, plantation xo,and coruba 12 years cigar ) which ik will rate later!
