Zacapa Of. XO Solera Gran Reserva Especial Cognac Casks Finished ----

With Guatemalan roots, Zacapa is considered to be one of the world's best producers of rum. Its first cuvée was created in 1976, when the rum producers of Zacapa came together to celebrate the town’s 100th anniversary. It has the unique feature of producing surprising drinks using the Soléra method (usually for sherry). To make this rum, the producer has a cane sugar plantation located at 350m in altitude and uses only concentrated cane juice, from the first pressing (whereas most rums are made from molasses). Only yeasts extracted from pineapple are used to ferment the wort which is then distilled in a copper still. Rewarded with many accolades by the finest tasters, these bottles are sought by enthusiasts all over the world. Behind this meticulous craftsmanship, Lorena Vásquez, one of the few women master blenders in the world of spirits, strives to create ever more daring and subtle spirits. In 2026, Zacapa celebrates its 50th anniversary.
