DESCRIPTION

A permanent expression from Ron Zacapa in Guatemala, first released in 2000. It is made from virgin sugar cane honey (the concentrated juice of the first pressing) rather than molasses, and aged at 2,300 metres above sea level in the Guatemalan highlands. Matured in a solera system that blends rums aged between 6 and 25 years in casks that previously held American whiskey, Oloroso sherry and Pedro Ximénez sherry, before being finished in French oak casks that previously held Cognac. Bottled at 40%. (Bottle size 750ml)

TASTING NOTES

Nose: Rich aromas of dark chocolate, caramel, toasted oak and dried fruit, complemented by vanilla, warm spices and hints of orange peel.

Palate: Full-bodied and smooth, with flavours of dark chocolate, toffee, roasted nuts and dried figs. Notes of cinnamon, vanilla and sweet oak are balanced by subtle citrus and Cognac-influenced complexity.

Finish: Long and warming, with lingering notes of dark chocolate, caramel, dried fruit and gentle oak spice.
