Zacapa Rum was developed by a Guatemalan doctor, Alejandro Burgaleta, who did countless test trials and adjustments to the distillation and stabilization of his rum before releasing his first bottle of rum in 1976. The rum is distilled from virgin honey, a syrup that has more sugar content than molasses, 72 percent versus 50 percent. Zacapa rum is crafted in Guatemala in the large mountainous region of Quetzaltenango which is 2300 meters above sea level and was chosen for it’s cooler night time temperatures as well as it’s thinner, lower-oxygenated air which makes the rum aging process more gentle. The rum develops a complex character and flavor and is best served neat.
