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 taste is a bit sweeter than a Diplomatico, yet it's not at all distracting from the deep taste which immediately fills your mouth after just one sip. Nice dark colour looks very good in a glass, the age really makes a difference here. The bottle is actually very tall and doesn't look particularly special or nice in my opinion, however there is a straw ring near the bottom, which makes the bottle look a little more vintage, and I found the bottle itself looks great when combined with books on a shelf. Very nice rum, one of my personal favourites.
Nice dark rum ... a bit too Smokey for me but nice easy drinking rum all the same
I've purchased a few bottles of this over my time drinking rum and I have to say, when I'm not quite sure what I want to drink, this never fails to satisfy.
saying that however this is no perfect rum, it runs sweet for my taste and the finish is to be desired. I also don't quite like the fact that the bottle is a little bit deceptive
Tasted together with Diplomatico reserva exclusiva. Has a stronger finish than Diplomatico.
Not my top 10 choices but often available at bars and I’ll take it over Catain Morgan, Malibu, Myers, or Bacardi White (the typical bar rums). Just too sweet for my pallet tastes artificial like Pilar. Don’t get me wrong it’s an OK rum if that’s your thing. My pallet has just matured.
Not great for my taste but a balanced rum for us the beginners. Nice flavors not great aftertaste whatsoever.
J'ai découvert ce rhum lors d'un voyage au Guatemala.
Ce sont avant tout le caramel et la vanille qui constituent le nez de ce rhum.
En bouche, c’est ici le caramel qui règne sans partage.
La finale est modérément longue, sur le caramel certes mais également sur le miel après quelques instants.
Nice, sweet and lots of vanilla and oaky aftertaste
Good if you don’t know what you’re looking for. Solera style is a marketing ploy.

Good flavor not overly sweet, great sipping rum without breaking the bank. Still will take the Santa Teresa 1796 but I am Venezuelan so I might be biased...
