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.

The Zacapa rums were one of my first introductions to premium rums. It ticks the box of a nice first sippable rum. Don't overthink it and enjoy it. Cheers! JW [My sweetness scale: semi-sweet]. YMMV!
This rum is good if you're new to sipping alcohol or spirits in general. This very sweet rum has the baseline rum taste and feel which is then washed over with the sweetness of sugar.
Liked XO or dedicated (limited) editions more (even the "dark ones"). A typical Zacapa in a nutshell - very good premium Guatemalan rum with so well-driven commercial success, not particularly "love" for me but always a very good quality of product.
Better than green Diplomatico (Czechs' second bestseller in this cathegory) and definitely better than Don Papa (third one).
First time shelling out this kind of money for a rum to sip on. Didn't disappoint.
Solid best of this zacapa flight in my opinion. Would be one to revisit. Part of the flight from last week
this rum is spicy and tart. The aftertaste is too pungent for me, but it's tasty nonetheless!
Another one available in the restaurants/clubs nearby, in most cases the best one they have. Very sweet, nice taste and smell, smooth and long finish.
I've heard people raving and complaining about this rum for years, so I just had to finally buy a bottle and experience it for myself. Nothing spectacular about the bottle, the colour or the scent. I've tried it straight, with ice and mixed with coke, and although all variations were quite nice, I have to agree with the complain camp. This stuff would have been so much better if it hadn't been so sweet(ened). I've heard the Zacapa XO is much better, basically a more matured and less sweetened version. I'm not going to buy that one, because the price is sky-high. The truth is, at this price range, the 23 Solera should have been what the XO is claimed to be . There's no doubt I'm going to finish and enjoy the bottle, but it is a bit of a con, really.
Kicsit túlságosan szeretik errefelé, illetve nálink ez lett a rendes rum szinonímálya, pedig ezt nem érdemelte ki
