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.

Had this at a bar served neat. It was really good and smooth. Not harsh at all. Not overly sweet. There is an apparent caramel flavor but again not overpowered. Will definitely purchase a bottle of my own
My personal favourite. Can drink this one all night
Egy kicsit tΓΊlΓ©rtΓ©kelt, (az Γ‘rΓ‘ra Γ©rtem) de finom rum.
I had heard so many good things about this rum and indeed it was very good stuff.
VΓ½teΔnΓ½ pomΔrnΔ hodnΔ sladkΓ½ rum. Kdo mΓ‘ rΓ‘d sladkΓ© rumy, tak k tomuto rumu se jistΔ vrΓ‘tΓ pro jeho podmanivou sladkost.
Decided to get a new hobby and that hobby is Rum. Bought this and after first taking a big swig and being surprised that it wasnβt as delicious as the reviews lead me to believe I realised I need to understand rum a bit better. 4 weeks later and Iβve now got a cabinet with 24 types of rum in and starting to better understand the subtleties and varieties. Came back to this again , sipped and thereβs some seriously nice depth of flavour I didnβt understand before but also a lot of sweetness I never noticed. At A$100 , itβs a good sipping rum that Iβm not worried about hoarding for years like some of my others.
Might be my last solera finished rum. I am just not a fan. Everyone of them no matter how old is thin, impotent and completely unremarkable. A 23 year old rum should have complexity, character and depth. I mean this is from a fine and very reputable distiller. Yet after 23 years it has none of the attributes above. It is the solera finish that does it. If you prefer Lite beer to Guinness you might like this. Rather have a veggie burger than a filet mignon? Choose a White Owl over a Cohiba? This is your rum.
It's a very nice smooth qualitative rum for a good price. The sweet caramel and vanilla flavour is nice. It's a good rum to combine with a cigar (Oliva G or a Royo Black).
Probably one of the best in its price range, and one of the cheapest good Solera.

Not a bad rum. Not great either. And have to take one star off for the price. Should be in the $30 range not $45 range. That makes it disappointing.
