Ron Zacapa Rum

  Ron Zacapa 23 years Guatemala the new edition 70 cl Rum 40%

  Item no.: 22227865395-23

  Sugarcane juice instead of molasses, and a solera system borrowed from the world of sherry – it is no accident that Ron Zacapa 23 has become one of the world's most recognisable rums.

  Expert description

  Ron Zacapa 23 is a Ron de Guatemala, composed through a Sistema Solera and bottled at 40%.

  Unlike most rums, Ron Zacapa is made from fresh sugarcane juice rather than molasses, and the rum matures at a facility in Guatemala's highlands, where the natural cooling affects the maturation. The solera system, in which younger and older rums are gradually blended through stacked casks of American oak, sherry and Pedro Ximénez wine, gives Ron Zacapa 23 its characteristic, layered sweetness.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Soft, sweet start with caramel, vanilla, cocoa and butterscotch, followed by sherried notes of roasted Brazil nuts and toasted hazelnut, rounded out by toffee, banana and dried pineapple.

  Palate

  Full-bodied with caramel, vanilla and cocoa, complemented by spice and oak, along with aromas of roasted figs, dried black cherries and maple syrup.

  Finish

  Medium length and complex with dark chocolate, figs, cherries, pipe tobacco, espresso beans and nougat.

  Did you know?

  Ron Zacapa was created in 1976 to mark the centenary of the town of Zacapa in Guatemala, and the rum is deliberately matured at a high-altitude facility, where the natural cooling makes maturation slower than traditional Caribbean ageing at sea level.

  Ron Zacapa Ambar 12 years Solera Reserva Guatemala 100 cl Rum 40%

  Item no.: 22227865395-8251

  Ambar is the lighter, more accessible side of Zacapa, made to introduce Guatemalan Solera craft without overwhelming.

  Expert description

  Ron Zacapa Ambar 12 Solera Reserva is a Ron de Guatemala matured in a Sistema Solera and bottled at 40%.

  The rum is produced in the Guatemalan highlands at altitudes of up to 2,300 metres, where the cool climate slows evaporation and allows a gentler, slower maturation than in many other rum-producing countries. The Ambar expression is composed as a lighter, fresher and fruitier variant of the house style compared to the darker, heavier Centenario releases, and is sold here in a 100 cl bottle.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Light and fresh with citrus, honey, vanilla and a touch of oak.

  Palate

  Soft and balanced with notes of dried fruit, caramel, honey and a discreet spiciness, plus hints of orange peel, almond and cinnamon.

  Finish

  Medium length, velvety and pleasantly sweet.

  Did you know?

  Zacapa's rum isn't matured at sea level like most other Caribbean rums, but in the Guatemalan highlands, where a phenomenon called "the Angel's Share above the Clouds" means the casks lose less alcohol to evaporation than in the warmer tropical lowlands.

  Ron Zacapa Armonia Heavenly Cask Guatemala Solera Rum 70 cl 40%

  Item no.: 222253333-8887

  2,300 metres above sea level, among active volcanoes and mountain peaks, sits the "House Above the Clouds" – the place where Ron Zacapa lets its rum mature at a cool, slow pace.

  Expert Description

  Ron Zacapa Armonia Heavenly Cask is a Guatemalan Solera Rum matured through the Sistema Solera method and bottled at 40%.

  Armonia is the third release in Zacapa's Heavenly Cask collection, where each of the four editions celebrates one of the cask types used in the company's Sistema Solera maturation process. The base is not ordinary molasses but sugarcane honey – the concentrated first pressing of fresh sugarcane juice before any sugar is removed. The rum matures through a solera system spanning ages 6 to 23 years, where the young rum first rests at least 3 years in bourbon casks, before moving through freshly charred bourbon casks and finally finishing in Oloroso sherry casks. Behind the edition stands master blender Lorena Vásquez, who has shaped several of Zacapa's recent releases.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Oloroso sherry, caramelised berries, pecan pie and hazelnut.

  Palate

  Soft and balanced with dried fruit, wood, nuts and a hint of tobacco.

  Finish

  Rounded and lightly sherried finish with a subtle spiciness.

  Ron Zacapa Reserva 2014 Limitada Guatemala Rum 45%

  Item no.: 505956-498796-480

  High in the Guatemalan highlands, where Ron Zacapa's casks rest among herb gardens at 2,300 metres, master blender Lorena Vasquez put her stamp on the second release in the brand's annual series of luxury vintage editions.

  Expert Description

  Ron Zacapa Reserva 2014 Limitada is a Guatemala Rum, a blend of reserve rums aged between 6 and 24 years, bottled at 45%.

  The rum is released by Ron Zacapa, known for its Solera system and for ageing its casks high in the Guatemalan mountains, where the cool temperature slows evaporation and extends maturation. Reserva Limitada 2014 was the second release in a new annual series of luxury vintage editions, hand-selected by master blender Lorena Vasquez and released in limited quantities. The casks included in the blend spent two years in a high-altitude herb garden environment before being blended into the final composition of rum aged from 6 to 24 years.

  The result is a mild, sweet rum, where toffee and vanilla meet a lightly toasted, rounded finish.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Toffee, vanilla and dark chocolate.

  Palate

  Mild and sweet with toasted notes and light spice.

  Finish

  Soft and medium-length with lingering toffee.

  Ron Zacapa XO Guatemala Rum 40%

  Item no.: 222395-1013

  From the Guatemalan highlands, where rum matures in the thin air above the clouds, comes Ron Zacapa XO, one of the most celebrated names in Solera rum.

  Expert Description

  Ron Zacapa XO is a Guatemala Rum aged via the Sistema Solera and bottled at 40%.

  The rum is produced by Industrias Licoreras de Guatemala and selected among reserve rums aged between 10 and 25 years in the Solera system. The rums first mature in casks that previously held American whiskey, sherry and Pedro Ximénez wine, after which the blend is further aged in French oak casks that previously held cognac. Guatemala's high elevation, where the rum is aged above 2,300 metres above sea level, gives a slower maturation process and closer contact between rum and wood.

  The result is a complex, full-bodied rum, where burnt caramel and toasted nuts meet a long finish of dark chocolate and spice.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Toasted oak, burnt caramel, toasted nuts, marzipan and orange peel.

  Palate

  Full-bodied and smooth with dark cherry, chocolate, prune and spiced vanilla.

  Finish

  Long with warm cinnamon and cloves.

  Investment Potential

  Low. Ron Zacapa XO is a permanent part of the range rather than a limited release, making it more of a sipping rum than a collector's item.

  Did You Know?

  Ron Zacapa's rum is aged high up in the Guatemalan mountains, where the thinner air and lower temperature slow evaporation and give the rum more time to absorb flavour from the wood.
