93 POINTS WINE ENTHUSIAST “Zacapa tends to make rums on the sweeter and more luscious side; this is no exception. Look for a deep nut-brown hue and concentrated toffee aroma. The plush palate shows cocoa, dried dates and figs, and finishes with a hint of chocolate-covered cherry. What's in the bottle is a blend of rums aged for at least six years, blended via solera.”
The balance of delicate and unique flavors of Zacapa No. 23 is derived from a blend of aged rums between 6 and 23 years old, originating from the “Sistema Solera” aging process. Zacapa No. 23 is aged in selected barrels that previously aged robust American whiskey, delicate sherries and fine Pedro Ximénez wines, creating a smooth & balanced rum. Zacapa No. 23 Rum is best served neat, on the rocks or in your favorite dark spirit cocktail.
