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.

Klasse Geniesser Rum. Etwas besonderes für den Gaumen.
Nice flavour. Caramel taste. Very interesting colour. Smooth alcohol in my nose.
Just a little bit too sweet for my taste.
Really disappointed with this one. Nothing positive to say at all. Barely good enough for mixing.
($77 CAD) Sweet smell of caramel. Taste has a bit more depth to it. Some oak flavour comes through as well as the obvious caramel. There’s something else lurking below as well that is a bit more subtle, some spices and maybe citrus? Either way the alcohol burn is minimal so there’s plenty to enjoy as you sip on this one. More than just a baseline rum which is what I expected given the price. Great bottle, I’ll be trying some of the other Zacapa family and other Guatemalan rums as well.
A sweet and smooth rum with caramel taste and dried fig/raisin nose. Pleasant aftertaste that sits with you for a while.
Great rum. Goes down very smooth with little burn. Great complex flavours of caramel, honey and Vanilla. Recommended to anyone who has never tried.
This was available within my holiday all inclusive selection in the Cancun. Admittedly it is sweet but I do have a sweet tooth and thoroughly enjoyed this with a splash of coke
Smells good. Tastes good. Found it on sale for $40 and decent ratings so decided to give it a try. Not overly sweet. No complaints.
Heavy in flavour but a little sharp. Finishes off with vanilla.

I had high hopes for this going in. I was not worried about sugar issues cause I wasn’t gonna down a 12oz can of it. What surprised me though with the newly opened bottle was the burn! Like some peppers had been marinated in it or something. And I didn’t care for the taste. So I compared it with a couple of my other rums. I tried it on ice. I just poured it down the sink. Early the next morning I poured some more and let it air out some more. I tried it again with an open mind. This time I liked it! The burn was down and the flavor was better. My advice is give it time. Let it breathe. I still have a few more I want to try.
