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.

A little sweet and not much flavor. Well done for a higher end rail rum maybe but not great when compared to Appleton or Foursquare. Missing the oak and cask finish.
Most would like this but this is indeed a sweet rum
Great rum with Strong taste!!!! Value for money and a very safe choice!!!
This a such a smooth rum full of flavour. Either drink this neat or as recommended by the bottle, with an ice cube. My first few sips I got plenty of woody notes with dark brown sugar but as the rum chilled more with the ice cube, it brought out the more sweeter side of this rum. Absolutely delicious.
I love this rum neat or on a cube. It is sweet but also spicy with a warm aftertaste. My go to sipping rum.
Good premium rum, got a bottle from the airport in Guatemala and drank it in the caribbean.
An enhanced experience!
In my humble opinion, the short answer is almost !
The smell and that first sip does not disappoint .
I guess the real connoisseur may feel that the making of this rum is somewhat cheating , however Zacapa 23 holds it head high on this attribute.
This rum would be deemed the bench mark when it comes to the systema solera mixing methodology and with that in mind it brings together so many elements you want in a quality rum. For me the only thing missing was a big finish given how good the body, the caramel and those woody flavors delivered after that first sip .
After some impromtu hide and seek, everyone ended up sitting on the floor. Always a good sign. 8/10 would drink again.
This Ron from Guatemala is extremely famous. Because it's soft, sweet and easily accessible (apart from the price). Which is a good thing. The taste is good and the smell is really pleasant. We can smell the vanilla and the wood. Then in the mouth the caramel and vanilla are very present before giving way to dry and ripe fruits.
But what bothers me is the price first, a ron far too expensive for what it is.
Then adding additives such as sugar or glycerin to give it the desired taste and texture.
I am also not a big fan of Systema Solera as it is always indicated the age of the oldest rum even if it is in tiny quantities. Unlike English rum where the youngest rum age appears.
To conclude: it is a pleasant ron to drink, the taste anis good and the smell as well. However, many things lead me to say that we are sold in mid-range flavored and sweet rum at the price of a Premium. For me it is in the same category as Don Papa, sweet flavored rums pleasant to drink but sold a little too expensive for what it is and without any real complexity.
Actually quite dry and oaky.
"Flavour builds if you leave the rum in your mouth for a little longer allowing it to coat the palate."
Wonderfully intricate with honeyed butterscotch, spiced oak and raisined fruit...

"The interplay between the wood of the barrel and the liquor contents gives the alcohol its flavour, colour and character..."

Decanted, the rum displays a surprising body in the glass for something so apparently light, and has slow and strong legs down the side of the glass.
