About this deal

This yeast produces the precise aromatic compounds Zacapa requires, and so we ferment slowly, to give the yeast the time it needs to work. This has also been further confused by different territories enjoying different expression of their rums.

I find that a lot of the rums I initially enjoy are too sweet for me when I try them the second time around. I know in some of the rum more snobbish rum circles this is frowned upon and “sipping” seems very much in vogue but sipping just isn’t really how I enjoy my rum. A favourite here at Master of Malt, this is a truly superb Guatemalan rum, blended using the solera system, and including rums aged between six and 23 years.Facebook sets this cookie to show relevant advertisements to users by tracking user behaviour across the web, on sites that have Facebook pixel or Facebook social plugin. Zacapa has been awarded first place five times in a row at the international Rum Contest* and is the only luxury rum in the Rum Hall of Fame. At the end of the day the best Rum I’ve ever had from Ron Zacapa is the Reserva Limitada 2014 edition where the barrels had spent time in the herb garden or something but it effected the casks so much in the end product it was divine and it was hands down the best rum I’ve ever had and following that would be the XO and then this. Zacapa 23 is a super-premium rum made from a blend of rums aged between 6 and 23 years old, Zacapa has been awarded first place five times in a row at the International Rum Contest *- the only luxury rum in the Rum Hall of Fame, Warm and smooth on the nose with sweet hints of vanilla, honey, dried fruits, smoke and orange peel. If it was crystal I’d pay the money happily but as you can see I’m talking more about the glass bottle than the rum it’s self so that should give you an idea where my mind is with this slick marketing and clever design.

The casks work in harmony, and you'll find bold notes of oak char and brown sugar alongside lots of dark chocolate in this one. The Zacapa initially gives a bouquet of brown sugar, it reminds me a little of a chocolate or caramel/toffee sauce for ice cream or desserts.The secret of Zacapa is the slow ageing process that takes place at high altitude (2,300m above sea level) in the cool air of the Guatemala highlands.

Sorry but I feel severely let down so my score is going to reflect this because it become very evident once I tasted this rum.

Zacapa No. 23 Centenario | Ron Zacapa

It was the result of the blending, stabilization and maturing processes of long-aged rums by doctor and chemist named Alejandro Burgaleta. If you want it cold then put the bottle in the fridge never add ice as it’s sacrilege because it’s spent 27 years in various barrels gaining all those flavours and adding water or ice is destroying the time invested in such a rum and its flavours. is derived from a blend of aged rums between 6 and 23 years old, originating from the “Sistema Solera” aging process. Rum as young as six years old ends up combined with much, much older rums, the goal being a flavor profile that consistently blends age and barrel expression.Presumably so your greasy hands don't slip as you double fist this bottle straight into your mouth because I could CHUG this stuff, even though it's a bit weird and thin. By harnessing expert knowledge gained over many years, a unique premium spirit was born: Ron Zacapa Centenario. As the picture shows even the Zacapa glass is slightly different and geared very much to sipping the rum and swirling it around in the glass a bit like they do with fine cognac’s in the movies. Its name changed due to the confusion it caused, as people thought it was a 23-year-old rum instead of a blend of rums between 6 and 23 years old.
