About this deal
after reading through the hydrometer tests, I unfortunately discovered that Ron Zacapa is a company that absolutely loads their "premium rums" with additives like sugars and coloring such. A single column still, lined with copper to add flavour and remove impurities, is used to distil Zacapa Rum. An excellent Guatemalan rum from Ron Zacapa, Edición Negra has been aged in a combination of double charred American oak bourbon barrels and Pedro Ximénez casks.
A royal Mayan symbol representing the unity of time and space, earth and sky, each petate band is traditionally hand-woven in villages of the Departments of Chiquimula, El Quiché and El Progreso. Continued by sherried notes of caramelized roasted brazil nuts and toasted hazelnut, rounded out by toffee, banana and dried pineapple. It's blended using the solera system, and including rums aged between six and 23 years, matured in a mix of bourbon and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. Zacapa Centenario Reserva Limitada je prémiový tmavý rum z Guatemaly, ktorý je vysoko uznávaný pre svoju výnimočnú kvalitu a komplexnosť.I find the flavour builds if you leave the rum in your mouth for a little longer allowing it to coat the palate. Zacapa XO is best enjoyed neat or on the rocks and pairs beautifully with dark chocolate and desserts.
Edit : I have recently come across some info on a Swedish national site that discloses added sugar in rums. Another of Lorena Vásquez’s passion projects to showcase and financially empower local communities, the rings are made from dried palm leaves and hand-woven by local indigenous women in the petate-style of the Guatemalan Maya. currently) equally as good for a sipping rum but I accept that taste is highly subjective and fans of Zacapa will, no doubt, disagree with me.To ensure freshness, immediately after the cane is cut, it is transported to the mill to begin extraction of the sugar cane juice.
