Aged above the clouds

Zacapa rum

A magical experience

Abra... Zacapa

Zacapa rum was created in 1976 to commemorate the 100th anniversary celebration of the foundation of the city of Zacapa, in Guatemala.

The liquid in each bottle is truly a gift from above - having been aged 7,545ft above sea level to develop its notable deep aroma and rich layers of flavour.

Each bottle of Zacapa No. 23 Rum comes with a petate band that is handwoven by a Guatemalan weaver, representing the Mayan belief that the petate is a symbol of unity between earth and sky.

Who RUM the world? Girls!

Zacapa's Master Blender of more than 35 years, Lorena Vásquez, is one of only a few female leaders in a traditionally male-dominated industry.

Overseeing and shaping Zacapa’s delicious taste, Vásquez is known for her expressive character and her unique approach to blending, going above and beyond to select the best ingredients from Guatemala.

The end result is a serve that is widely acknowledged to be one of the world’s best tasting rum.

Zacapa spotlights women in other ways, employing over 700 female weavers to craft the petate bands which adorn every bottle of Zacapa No. 23 Rum.
