Tasting notes




Get to know Zacapa
Zacapa rum was created in 1976 to commemorate the 100th anniversary celebration of the foundation of the city of Zacapa.Zacapa is a town in Guatemala located approximately 112km from Guatemala City. The name Zacapa derives from Nahuatl (Aztec) language, and it means “on the river of grass."
The orchestrator behind Zacapa’s delicious taste is Lorena Vásquez, one of the few female master blenders in the world of spirits. Zacapa Master Blender of more than 40 years Lorena Vásquez, is one of only a few female leaders in a traditionally male-dominated industry.
She is largely credited with making Zacapa the premium spirit is it today.

Process
Unlike most rums that are made from molasses, our rums are made using the first press of sugar cane.
Our fermentation process uses a strain of yeast derived from pineapples which brings out incredible aromas and flavors.
During the distillation process, the flavor and aroma character and profile of each rum is defined.
Petate weaving
In 1976 the first Zacapa bottle was completely covered by Petate weaving made by women from El Progreso. By 1999 Zacapa took the initiative to support women from El Quiché who where displaced by conflict, creating work opportunities for their Petate weaving skills.
Later on, other villages from Jocotán were heavily affected by a dry season that destroyed their crops which were their main source of income. Zacapa was able to incorporate them and give the opportunity to generate a new income. Throughout these turbulent times, women have emerged as inspirational leaders in their communities.
