Description
Ron Zacapa Centenario 23 is one of the best-known premium rums from Guatemala and is made from virgin sugar cane honey, which is prized for its particularly pure and aromatic character. The rum is matured using the unique Sistema Solera process, in which distillates of different ages - between six and 23 years - are married together in a selection of different oak barrels. These barrels include ex-bourbon, sherry and Pedro Ximénez casks, the combination of which gives the rum its unmistakable depth, warmth and complexity. Maturation takes place at an altitude of around 2,300 meters in the "House Above the Clouds", where the cool highland climate makes the maturation process particularly gentle and produces an exceptionally harmonious rum.
With its characteristic dark amber color, the iconic Petate band and the high-quality gift box, the Ron Zacapa 23 Gran Reserva embodies the traditional craftsmanship of Guatemalan rum production. Its smooth, nuanced profile has made it an international classic that delights both purists and lovers of sophisticated rum cocktails with its elegant structure. Zacapa is synonymous worldwide with a luxurious interpretation of rum that is created with a great deal of craftsmanship and regional expertise and is particularly impressive in this bottling.
