Tasting Note of Zacapa Centenario Solera 23 Years
Appearance: Zacapa Centenario Solera 23 Years has aged contours and a long, slow journey that clings to the glass.
Nose: A beginning that develops complex possibilities in the glass: sweet aromas of caramel, vanilla, cocoa, and caramel syrup, combining layers of flavor indicative of the different barrels in the solera process. Sherried notes of Brazil nuts and toasted hazelnuts, and the characteristic balanced flavor of banana and dried pineapple from barrels that once held American whiskey.
Pallet: Wonderfully complex, generous, and full-bodied. An atypical honeyed and sweet viscosity of an aged drink. Great depth of raisin fruits and apricot preserves, leading to an intense epicenter of salty oak, nutmeg, leather, and tobacco, with notes of coffee and delicate sweet vanilla, balanced with a touch of pleasantly astringent cinnamon and ginger at the end. Truly a rum for refined palates.
Consumption recommendation
It is recommended to enjoy Ron Zacapa Solera 23 years alone and with plenty of ice.
