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.

Decent rum that I keep occasionally. I would recommend the Zafra 21 over this one.
Kvalitní, komplexní, sladší rum, který zaujme kromě obsahu také velmi podařeným zevnějškem.
Vůně květnatá, ovocitá, svěží. V chuti sladší lehce kořenitá. Na udávaných 23 let solery mi ale přijde více štiplavější. V této cenové relaci se dle mého názoru dají najít i lepší kousky, ale špatný rum to zcela jistě není.
Smooth, rich, sweet toffee, lovely to drink. Expensive though. For the same price you can buy 2 bottles of Plantation XO 20th Anniversary. My favorite:)
Its too sweet for me, but i think that it is a okay rum for begginers.
Good rum. It is excellent with a Cohiba cigar. Satisfactory mouth feel, a bit of alcohol, long finish, some spices and caramel in the taste. Good rum but I expected more.
I know that this is one of people's favorite rums in the world, but I admit that it is too sweet for me, excessively sweet.
Although I started with him in the world of rum, today my preferences go other ways.
In any case, I think it's a must-try rum
Your pick if you want to enter the world of rum but you're not still sure about it (is that even a thing?).
Good nice rum with a lot of complex flavours. It's difficult to specify what I'm tasting when I take a glass.
Smells fruity, not sure if it's stored in cherry barrels but the smell is very likable as the taste itself. You are not going to make a mistake with this one

After years of drinking Captain Morgan's, I decided to step up my game and try Diplomatico. Wow, what a dramatic difference. Having had my eyes (and palate) opened, I opted to try Ron Zacapa. After all, it's being plugged all over the internet. So it must be wonderful, right?
OMG, what a letdown. Sugar-water, anyone? Everything I loved about Diplomatico is missing. The gloriously complex bouquet, the graduated flavors, the satisfying finish . . . gone. And if the other comments are to be believed, this distiller uses additives. Are you kidding? If you're distilling with honor and tradition, why would you ever need additives?
And to add insult to injury, the bottle I purchased cost ten dollars more than the Diplomatico. Sure, the box and bottle are both handsome. But that doesn't compensate for the underwhelming lack of sophistication known as Ron Zacapa 23 Solera.
I only wish I had discovered this website BEFORE I made my purchase. In fact, I was so angry once I read the other reviews I decided to join just so I could enhance the negative rating of this disappointing pollution pretending to be a premium rum. Don't believe the major news outlets that hype Ron Zacapa. THIS is the website that tells it like it is: Ron Zacapa 23 Solera is HIGHLY OVERRATED.
