Frequently Asked Questions

How is Edición Negra different from Zacapa 23?

While Zacapa 23 is known for its smooth, sweet, and approachable character, Edición Negra takes a bolder direction — using double charred American oak casks to add a distinctive smoky intensity and darker flavor profile inspired by Guatemala's volcanic landscape.

What does double charred mean?

Double charring involves charring the inside of the oak barrel twice, creating a deeper layer of carbon that imparts more intense smoky, toasted, and dark chocolate notes to the rum as it ages.

What is the age range of the rums in the blend?

Edición Negra is a blend of rums aged between 6 and 24 years, combining younger, vibrant expressions with older, more complex ones for a layered and balanced final product.

How should I serve it?

Best enjoyed neat or on the rocks to fully appreciate its smoky complexity. Also excellent as a bold base for a Rum Old Fashioned or a smoky Dark & Stormy.
