Bottle of Ron Zacapa Solera Gran Reserva rum with a dark brown label.

Distilled from the first pressing of virgin sugar cane juice at over 7,500 feet above sea level, this rum blends together spirits aged between six and twenty-three years using the Sistema Solera method, first produced in 1976 to mark the Guatemalan town of Zacapa's centennial. Roasted coffee, butterscotch, vanilla and dark chocolate open the sweet, sherry-influenced nose, developing into a palate of dark fruits, caramel and molasses with a slightly bitter coffee edge, closing with cacao and gentle oak that lingers pleasantly on the back of the palate.
