About this deal
Being part of Diageo, the largest spirits manufacturer in the world, Zacapa is a real rum-powerhouse. The dense, dark amber color of the liquid promises quality and its nose reveals honey, molasses and soft spices.
Je to jeden z najlepších rumov sveta, charakteristický svojou veľmi jemnou chuťou s tónmi vanilky a tropického ovocia. For Zacapa 23, I enjoy it straight and in a good cocktail like a rum old fashioned, and for XO, I like it straight at room temperature. It may not be reproduced in any way whatsoever without Ocado Limited's prior consent, nor without due acknowledgement. The next stage of the process is fermentation in the lab at the distillery, for which the team use a unique strain of yeast – saccharomyces cerevisiae – extracted from pineapples, which ferments the virgin honey slowly, releasing aromatics along the way. Zacapa has been awarded first place five times in a row at the international Rum Contest* and is the only luxury rum in the Rum Hall of Fame.There are so many additives, including sugar and glycerine, which is fine I guess, but they a deny it!
White, dark or spiced, there’s something for everyone when it comes to enjoying a good bottle of rum. When comparing the 23 with the XO, which we will review another time, you will see the difference in aging and how the usage of ex-Cognac casks for the XO adds a more subdued, more elegant and complex characteristic.And to ensure the correct balance is achieved, the whole process is minutely controlled by our experts. A great example would be a Don Carlos from the Fuente family, using that distinct wrapper from Meerapfel in Cameroon. In the “Sistema Solera”, art and tradition encourage the blending of rums of different ages and personalities so that they may continue to mature in select barrels. Facundo’s Paraiso is arguably the brand’s best: Paraiso is Latin for “paradise” and this bottle doesn’t fall short of the title. Also, this is not a 23 yr old rum, it is a Solera blend of aged rum the OLDEST of which is 23 yrs, the average age is closer to 6-8 years.
