Created in 1976 by Dr. Alejandro Burgaleta to mark the centenary of the town of Zacapa in eastern Guatemala, it is made from virgin sugarcane honey — the first pressing of the cane — rather than molasses, giving it a naturally sweeter, more refined character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sugarcane is harvested from the volcanic plateau of Retalhuleu at 350 metres above sea level. Fermentation uses Zacapa's own unique yeast strain, Saccharomyces Cerevisiae. Distillation takes place in a copper single-column still, and the rum then ages at high altitude — 2,300 metres above sea level — in Quetzaltenango. At this altitude, the cooler temperatures allow the rum to age more slowly and develop greater complexity than is typical in tropical climates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAgeing follows a Sistema Solera, blending rums aged between 6 and 23 years in a progression of bourbon, oloroso, and PX sherry casks.
