Description:
This rum was a specialty Item made for just the owners of Industrias Licoreras (Distillery) for many years. This rum is produced in a small town in Guatemala which it's name is (Zacapaneca ). In this small town the majority of the population make their income from artisan products made from "Royal Palm". Which is considered art. The artisans pride themselves in making this masterfully crafted, hand-woven wrapper for Ron Zacapa.

This rum is aged like no other rum in the carribean. After distilling is complete they rest the rums in American oak barrels. The altitude where they age the rum, in Bodegas is 8,000 feet above sea level where the weather is cool and limits the loss of a considerable amount of rum that naturally evaporates during the aging process. In some countries the lost product is called the (Angels Share). This allows the rum to have the aging of 23 years.

Many experts consider this rum to be the best in the world. This rum has earned its place in the history books as a benchmark for super premiums. First place winner in the premium rums category in the 1998,1999,2000 and 2001 International Rum Festival tasting Competition. In 2003 it was honored by the International Rum Festival as the first rum ever to be inducted into it's hall of fame. Highest Rum score in the Beverage Testing Institute of Chicago (98 point Rating).

This rum's dark brown amber color sets the tone for an exciting drinking experience. Well-rounded oak aroma speaks of aging and refinement. In the palate, layer upon layer of flavors including nutmeg, toasted hazelnut and a hint of caramel. Smooth finish, with a long aromatic persistence. Enjoyed best neat or on the rocks.

Review: Fantastic. I was lucky enough to attend the UK Rumfest with my nephew and his friend and sampled everything worth tasting. This rum is second only to El Dorado 15 yr, and as a owner of both, I think that is a fair comment. I disagree with the previous comments about the other rum being a cheaper alternative, you get what you pay for. I must admit it is strange to have your No2 choice cost more than your No1. If you only ever have 2 rums in your home, Ron Zacapa 23 yr has to be one of them.

Review: Zac is great but I agree with Elliot, the Pussers 15yo is an excellent rum and probably equal to Zac 23, although now I can buy Ron Los Valientes from the Drink Shop I have found my nirvana, with the slow ageing and extra complexity from the blend of sugar cane and molasses. I'll be on 15yo for daily drinking and 20yo for special occasions!

Review: Another excellent rum and one of the better ones I have tried, although, surprisingly for the price it is no better than Pussers 15yr old. All in all I'm glad I have tried it but save yourself £35-40 and go for the 15yr old instead as it is very similar in taste and quality.

Review: Wow! What a fantastic rum, I had heard how good this was but could not find a bar selling it to try so plumped for purchasing a bottle from TheDrinkShop.com. Item arrived quickly and well packaged. On opening the bottle my senses were awakened to the lovely smell of molasses. On drinking this has wonderful bold flavours with a long smooth finish, YUM! I have been converted and the XO is next on my wish list.
