The amazing Zacapa Solera Gran Reserva rum comes 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 been used to age sherry, port wine or cognac are blended together.
The Master Distiller - Lorena Vásquez - oversees the entire production process and selection of casks to capture specific flavours and textures as well as the perfect colour. After distillation, it rests in American oak barrels at an altitude of 2,438 meters above sea level, where the weather is cool. As a result, the rum evaporates much less as it matures.
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.
The bottles are filled at 40 % alcohol with a volume of 0,7 l.
