Zacapa - Rhum du Guatemala - Edición Negra

A daring achievement, Zacapa Edicion Negra Rum is made using the Solera technique in which rums of different ages and characters are blended and then aged in a succession of barrels. The rum then benefits from an additional year of aging in toasted American oak barrels, which gives it a new, more structuring facet with intense flavors of smoke, incense and warm flavors. Notes of caramelized fruit, plums and raisins with a hint of smoke mingle with chocolate and dried fruit flavors; the long, intense finish concludes this rich, flavorful rum.
