Product details

The balance of delicate and unique flavors of Zacapa No. 23 is derived from a blend of aged rums originating from the “Sistema Solera” aging process. Zacapa No. 23 is aged in selected barrels that previously aged robust American whiskey, delicate sherries and fine Pedro Ximénez wines, creating a smooth & balanced rum.

Tasting notes

Complex, generous and full-bodied. Starting with a depth of dried fruit and apricot, building to savory oak, nutmeg, leather and tobacco with notes of coffee and vanilla, balanced with a spicy touch of cinnamon and ginger. Intricate with honeyed butterscotch, spiced oak and dried fruit.

THE STORY OF ZACAPA

Zacapa rum was created in 1976 to commemorate the 100th anniversary celebration of the foundation of the city of Zacapa. Zacapa is a town in Guatemala located approximately 112km from Guatemala City. The name Zacapa derives from Nahuatl (Aztec) language, and it means “on the river of grass. The magic of aging is inspired by the Sistema Solera (Solera System), where our rum’s journey includes a multitude of cask types and styles carefully selected by Lorena Vásquez, to capture specific flavors and textures, as well as the perfect color. When it comes to casks, each one has a story to tell in the final liquid, meaning there’s no finer spirit to go on this journey with. Some are made from American White Oak and were previously used to store American Whiskey, and others are made from European oak that have previously been used to age Cognac, Sherry or Pedro Ximénez Wines. They each have different degrees of toasting, depending on the final characteristics that are being sought for the different rums. This stage of the production of rums allows Lorena to vary the complexity of the profile that she is seeking in the rum.
