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.

have also the XO but actually like this one much better
and again it is a great deal for around $38 and highly
recommend it.
Ici, on tient la star des Ron de type Solera avec le millonario (le zacapa est un chouilla en dessous mais bon).
Tout y est, un produit sucré mais pas trop. Epicé et avec du caractère. Assez facile à boire.
Un must have pour ceux qui veulent tester ce type de rhum...
Alle kan lide den, men den bliver lidt for sød i længden. Flot gylden farve og god duft.
Amazing brown-mahogany color. Nose similar to a well aged whisky. Strong aromas of sherry oak and american oak sweetness. Tastes very smooth and sweet - with lots of caramel, coffee and prunes or figs. the sugar cane honey makes it round and sweet with no edges and flaws.
This rum has a sweet flavored, lightly smoked, deep, colorful vanilla taste. This bottle deserves his place in your rum collection.
I buy always 2 bottles, because the first one is always so quickly empty.
i really enjoyed to drink this rum. for the pricetag you can't really expect more. a very good balanced rum with a sweet body. the finish is good, but nothing really special. the flavour doesn't hold to long but overall a very good rum and definitely to recomend.
Even though it says, that this rum is at his best on the rocks, I enjoyed it more straight up, because on the rocks it looses quickly on quality.
Riktigt god rom, en av de bΓ€ttre enligt mig. Kanske en aningen fΓΆr sΓΆt.
I drink rum straight up. The Ron Zacapa Solera 23 is nowhere near as smooth as other aged rums. In fact, I find it to be more than a bit harsh and oddly sweet at the same time. As such, sometimes I can tolerate it, and other times I find the alcohol burn to be a bit too much. Holding it in the mouth results in a scope mouthwash like burn, not unpleasant, but not what I'm looking for in a quality sipping rum. With that in mind, it's simply not smooth enough for the price. It does have a nice color and looks good in the glass. I absolutely don't like it mixed with Coke.
Diplomatico Reserva was one of my favorites (bang for buck), however after picking up RZ 23 at the airport, I had to admit the better overall smoothness.
