My husband and I love to entertain guests in our home and almost every weekend during the spring, summer and fall months you will find us entertaining a few friends at our home and we love to serve our guests a few alcohol infused drinks. My husband is a big fan of the Zacapa premium rum, have you ever tried it?
Today I am going to share some information with you about Zacapa and how they got into the premium dark rum business. It all began back in 1976 in eastern Guatemala in a very small town called Zacapa where they were celebrating their 100th anniversary and that gave birth to one of the world’s finest rums.
Zacapa makes their premium rums from the finest first-pressed sugar canes which is known as virgin sugar cane honey and the sugar canes are grown in volcanic soil, unlike other rums that use molasses (a by-product of the sugar making process).
The next step is the aging process which takes place 2,300 feet above sea level in the beautiful highlands of Quetzaltenango. The House Above The Clouds is actually is one of the world’s highest aging facilities and the process employed here is simply amazing and it’s a process that was developed over 500 years ago by the Spaniards. This process involves each drop of rum to pass through several casks that previously housed American Whiskey, Oloroso Sherry and Pedro Ximenez wines. Each of these vintage vessels imparts it’s own character that helps to give Zacapa Rums their distintive taste.
If you are a fan of Zacapa fan we would like to invite you to check out the Zacapa Society where you can meet and join up with other Zacapa fans and they will use the Society members input to help steer the society (and community) into the direction that the society members would like. You may even pick up a few rewards along the way for all of your efforts in joining the Zacapa Society.
I hope you enjoyed the Zacapa story today and I hope you check out their web site and consider joining the Zacapa Society.
