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.
