Ron Zacapa Edicion Negra Box 70cl 43° + 2 Glasses
This Zacapa Edicion Negra rum is presented here in a superb box with two glasses decorated with orchids and the petate, a traditional Guatemalan hand-woven band, which here takes on a black colour attesting to the blackness of this rum produced between mountains and volcanoes.
This rum has been aged according to the Solera method at 2300 meters above sea level in several types of barrels, including American oak barrels that have contained Bourbon and burnt twice, giving it intense smoky, woody and spicy notes.

Zacapa is a small town northeast of Guatemala City. In 1976, the city celebrated its centenary and the largest rum producer in the country, the Industria Licorera Quetzalteca, created for the occasion Ron Zacapa Centenario, a truly unique premium spirit.
Unlike other rums, Zacapa uses first press concentrated sugar cane juices, known as "virgin sugarcane honey" rather than molasses, which are residues obtained from sugarcane refining. This influences the taste of the final result.
Using yeasts extracted from pineapple, the mash is slowly fermented before being distilled in a single column copper still. The rum obtained is then aged in cellars, 2300 meters above sea level, "the House above the clouds". This exceptional location intensifies the infusion of flavours from the barrels and enriches the taste of the final nectar.
