The amazing Zacapa Centenario 23 rum is a platinum medal winner and first place winner according to the Beverage Testing Institute of Chicago with an incredible 97 points. It hails from Guatemala and is a blend of rums ranging in age from 6 to 23 years. The rum is made using the Solera system - which means that different aged rums from casks that have previously aged sherry, port wine or cognac are blended together.
Master Distiller Lorena Vásquez oversees the entire production process and selection of casks to capture specific flavours and textures as well as perfect colour.
Unlike most rums that use molasses, Zacapa rum is made from the first pressing of virgin sugar cane. This makes the rum sweeter and smoother, and it is at this point that the rum's distinctive characteristics and flavour profile begin to develop.
Rum Matusalem Gran Reserva 23 matured for an average of 23 years in the Solera system. It satisfies a growing segment of consumers who prefer first-class quality and whose selection of rums is becoming more and more sophisticated.
It is produced using the unique Solera method, which combines the character of selected long-term rums matured in French oak barrels and highlights the real individuality. The Matusalem brand has been producing the finest aged rums for over 150 years with the same commitment to the highest quality.
In short, this is a super-premium aged rum that is guaranteed to enchant your taste buds! We recommend serving neat or with an ice cube at a temperature of 15 to 18°C. Comes in a nice brown and black gift box.
