Zacapa Edición Negra Rum
- Dark Solera Rum
- Guatemala, 700ml
A darker, smokier take on Zacapa: Edición Negra blends reserves aged 6–24 years and layers caramelised fruit, cocoa and gentle smoke from double-charred casks—silky neat, effortless over ice, and a confident premium gift.
Tasting Notes & Experience
Caramelised fruits, plums and raisins on the nose with smooth smoky hints. The palate balances woody spice, chocolate and dried fruit with a subtle ember-like smoke. Bold yet polished, finishing long, smooth and persistent.

Craftsmanship & Story
Made from first-press sugarcane honey, distilled, then matured at Zacapa’s “House Above the Clouds” (high-altitude, cool ageing). A Solera cascade across carefully selected casks—highlighting double-charred American oak—builds its satin texture and signature smoky richness.

High-altitude maturation; double-charred cask influence for elegant smoke; hand-woven petate band—distinctive, gift-ready presentation.
