Ron Zacapa Centenario No. 23 Sistema Solera Gran Reserva is a Guatemalan aged rum produced by Industrias Licoreras de Guatemala in Retalhuleu. Made from virgin sugar cane honey, the first pressing of fresh sugar cane juice, it is fermented with a proprietary pineapple yeast strain and distilled in copper-lined column stills. The rum is aged using the Sistema Solera process at 2,300 meters in ex-bourbon, ex-sherry and ex-Pedro Ximénez casks, with the blend ranging from six to 23 years old. Bottled at 40% ABV, it typically retails for around $45 to $55 in the U.S. market.

  • A rich and decadent sipper to pair with a cigar or enjoy with a dark chocolate and fruit accented dessert.

  • The plush palate shows cocoa, dried dates and figs, and finishes with a hint of chocolate-covered cherry.

  • The rum grows in the glass with the baking spices (nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon and deep dark rich brown sugar) gaining strength and vigor in the breezes above the glass. Impressions of cocoa gather, along with a building impression of cola, chocolate and vanilla. Although I sense a firm oak presence, it is not an omnipresent sensation, the aroma of oak and spice is very well melded into the overall rum.
