Zacapa Centenario Solera 23 Rum

Zacapa Centenario Solera 23 Rum is a premium sipping rum from Guatemala. It is made from concentrated virgin sugar cane honey, the first press of sugar cane grown on the volcanic plains of Retalhuleu, fermented with a yeast strain derived from pineapple and distilled in a copper-lined single column still. It is then aged at around 2,300 metres in the highlands of Quetzaltenango, where cooler temperatures slow maturation.

Its Sistema Solera blends rums aged between 6 and 23 years across casks that previously held American whiskey, sherry and Pedro Ximénez wine. The nose offers caramel, vanilla, cacao and butterscotch with toasted hazelnut, while the full-bodied palate brings dried fruit, oak, nutmeg, leather and tobacco. The long finish recalls honeyed butterscotch, spiced oak and dried fruit. Enjoy it neat or with a single ice cube.
