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. Each bottle is adorned with a hand-woven \u003cem\u003epetate\u003c\/em\u003e, a Mayan symbol representing the unity of time, place, and of earth and sky. A five-time award-winning rum, distributed worldwide by Diageo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Colour: light mahogany. Nose: caramel, vanilla, cocoa, butterscotch, roasted Brazil nuts, roasted hazelnuts, and dried pineapple. Palate: deliciously complex, full, and smooth — sweet honey, dried fruit, and apricot jam; towards the finish, more oak, nutmeg, leather, tobacco, coffee, and delicately sweet vanilla, balanced with a spicy note of cinnamon and ginger. The finish is long and warming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to enjoy\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeat or over a single large ice cube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn a classic Old Fashioned or Rum Sour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePairs beautifully with dark chocolate, coffee desserts, or a fine cigar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProducer: Industrias Licoreras de Guatemala \/ Diageo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle: Sistema Solera Premium Rum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAgeing: 6–23 years, bourbon, oloroso \u0026amp; PX sherry casks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase: Virgin sugarcane honey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eABV: 40%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: 700ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Guatemala\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Industrias Licoreras de Guatemala","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57672866922840,"sku":null,"price":48.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0864\/2238\/9080\/files\/ron-zacapa-gran-reserva-8340863.jpg?v=1783673832","url":"https:\/\/www.daansdrinks.com\/en-de\/products\/ron-zacapa-gran-reserva","provider":"Daan’s Drinks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
