Zacapa Edición Negra: an ode to Guatemala's volcanoes

Inspired by the natural power of Guatemala's volcanoes, Zacapa Edición Negra is a Guatemalan rum with a bold and assertive personality. It is a harmonious blend of rums of different ages and characters, symbolizing the diversity and richness of the region. Its dark color, intense aromatic profile, and lingering finish make it a spirit prized by connoisseurs and lovers of characterful rums.

The making of Zacapa Edición Negra: a skillfully orchestrated alchemy

To craft this amber rum, the Zacapa house carefully selects American oak barrels, which are charred using terracotta placed inside the cask. This process is what gives the rum its signature smoky aromatic profile, as well as its deep mahogany color. The resulting rum is then aged, allowing it to develop its full complexity and intensity.

Featuring a bottle of Zacapa Edición Negra and two tasting glasses, this gift set draws inspiration from Guatemalan flora.
