Being refined in charred American barrels brings an even greater complexity to this exceptional Guatemalan rum.  More info

Crafted from first-press sugar cane juice instead of the traditionally used syrup, this Guatemalan rum stands out from the crowd due to its elegance and complexity. It spends many years in oak barrels in a solera system where the youngest rum mixes with older versions of it. They age in three different types of barrels, each contributing to the incredibly complex aromas. In addition to this passage through bourbon, sherry and Pedro Ximenez barrels, the final blend, carried out by Lorena Vasquez, matures for several months in highly charred American oak barrels. Because of this, the rum is a beautiful shade of deep mahogany that flashes gold when light hits it. Notes of plums, grapes as well as spices and smoky aromas rise from the glass. On the palate, there is an explosion of flavours where the smokiness combines with hints of chocolate and dried fruits. A revelation.

Zacapa Edicion Negra (70cl)serve at a temperature of 18°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Coupe glacée au caramel, Crème renversée, Féroce d'avocat.
