K&L Buyer
Review Date: 06/2015
Zacapa is the rum that changes peoples mind about rum. Distilled from partially processed Miel de Cana, the Zacapa Distillery is one of the highest altitude and highest quality rum distilleries in the world. Distinctly in the Spanish style, the special distillery near Tulula, creates rums of exceptional quality aged in the traditional solera style. Opulent and ultra rich, no question this should be in the running for world's greatest rum.

Notes
This is first-class Guatemalan rum made from virgin sugar cane honey (the first press of the sugar cane that's boiled down), 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 mahogany with coppery tints and has a clove, cocoa, cinnamon, and orange peel-scented nose. The palate is sweet with cocoa, orange, and honey flavors and a sensuous, viscous texture. It finishes long and smooth. It received 97 points from the Beverage Testing Institute and a Gold Medal at the 2007 International Cane Spirits Festival.
