Size | 750ml |
This is first-class Guatemalan rum is made from virgin sugar cane honey--the first press of the sugar cane that's boiled down to thicken--rather than molasses, which is a byproduct of the sugar-making process. This results in a finer, sweeter, smoother rum. Aged in the solera method, like Sherry, the Zacapa Centenario is very dark--mahogony with coppery tints--and has a clove, cocoa, cinnamon and orange peel-scented nose. The palate is sweet and smooth, with cocoa, orange and honey flavors and a sensuous, viscous texture. It finishes long and smooth.
The Top 100 Spirits of 2023
BY WINE ENTHUSIAST
Zacapa tends to make rums on the sweeter and more luscious side; this is no exception. Look for a deep nut-brown hue and concentrated toffee aroma. The plush palate shows cocoa, dried dates and figs, and finishes with a hint of chocolate-covered cherry. What's in the bottle is a blend of rums aged for at least six years, blended via solera.
