Zacapa Edicion Negra Sistema Solera

Zacapa Edicion Negra Sistema Solera

Zacapa Edicion Negra is a rum inspired by the natural elements of Guatemala and the dark fire of the Guatemalan volcanoes. In the cool climate of the Guatemalan mountains, the blend ripens slowly; first with the solera system in barrels that previously contained bourbon whiskey, sherry and Pedro Ximénez wines.

Extremely expressive and complex with notes of chocolate, dried figs, fruits and exotic spices

Scent: Shows caramelized fruit, plums and raisins, which are perfectly balanced by soft smoky notes.
Taste: Combine smoky notes with chocolate and dried fruit in an explosion of flavor, leading to a soft and unusually long finish.

Lorena Vasquez is the Master Blender at the Zacapa family. She is one of the few women in the world who contests a position like this. And she has spent the last 24 years of her life perfecting her art. An art she possesses with all the different delicious rums she has made.

Produced from sugar cane grown in the volcano-shadowed lowlands and stored 2,300 meters above sea level in the cool air of the Guatemalan highlands in American oak barrels. The result is a dark rum with a smoky intensity and accentuated oak and spicy notes.

So this Zapaca takes a step away from the sweet toffee notes identified in Zapaca 23.
