Zacapa Edición Negra is a bold, smoky expression of one of the world's most celebrated rum brands — a blend of rums aged between 6 and 24 years, inspired by the raw, volcanic energy of Guatemala. Aged in select barrels including double charred American oak casks, Edición Negra delivers a rich, dark rum with a smoky intensity that sets it apart from the classic Zacapa 23. Bottled at 43% ABV, it's best served neat or on the rocks, and brings a dramatic smoky twist to dark spirit cocktails.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Edición Negra different from Zacapa 23?

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.
