Rum Review

Ron Zacapa Sistema 23 Solera Gran Reserva

Wood Management
Ex-bourbon, ex-sherry and ex- Pedro Ximenez casks to varying degrees are used.

Age Statement
None. But, a visit to the website and a careful read of the label indicates that the rums making up this product range in age from 6-23 years. A casual consumer might think this is a 23 year old rum. That would be a mistake. The use of the number 23 is a little deceptive I think (I am sure this statement will continue to prevent me from ever getting a brand ambassador job!).

Closure
Cork.

ABV
40%

Price
Not bad. More expensive than standard rums for sure, but not outrageous.

Nose (undiluted)
Vanilla, cocoa, dark wood, varnish, dried orange peel.

Palate (undiluted)
Rounded, sweet entry of cocoa, old burnished wood, butterscotch, melted caramel, bruised tangerines, and Christmas cake.

Finish (undiluted)
Slight zing of brown sugar, warm sugared California raisins, deep white oak and cinnamon lingers.
