    Rum is a smaller category of dark rums, including more affordable options such as Rum Seleccion Santa Cruz and Santamanía Rum Mentidero, as well as the premium Guatemalan Zacapa Centenario, aged for 23 years. Rums differ mainly in the length and method of ageing - from shorter ageing in oak barrels to the multi-stage solera system used for Zacapa, where the rum is gradually transferred between barrels of different ages. The choice of rum depends mainly on whether you want to drink it neat for tasting or use it as the base for a cocktail.

    How to find your way around this category

    Younger and more affordable rums are suited to cocktails (Cuba Libre, Mojito, Daiquiri), where their flavour is complemented by other ingredients. Long-aged premium rums such as Zacapa Centenario have a more complex, velvety flavour and are best drunk on their own, or with a cube of ice.

    For cocktails choose a younger rum, for tasting on its own and as a gift rather a long-aged premium version.

    How the solera ageing system works

    The solera system originally comes from sherry production, and for rum it was made famous by Zacapa. The rum gradually passes through barrels of different ages, where younger rum is blended with older rum, which ensures a consistent and complex flavour. Zacapa is moreover aged at high altitude in the Guatemalan mountains, where the cooler climate slows the ageing and helps to preserve delicate aromatic compounds.

    The number on a rum (for example "23 years" on Zacapa) usually refers to the age of the oldest component in the blend, not to the age of the entire contents of the bottle.

    Storage and serving

    Store rum at room temperature away from direct sunlight; once opened it practically does not deteriorate. Premium rums are served neat, slightly below room temperature, or with a single cube of ice, so that their aroma opens up without being diluted too much.

    Frequently asked questions

    What is the solera system of ageing rum?
    The rum gradually passes through barrels of different ages, where younger rum is blended with older rum - the method originally comes from sherry production and ensures a consistent, complex flavour.
    Why is Zacapa Centenario made in Guatemala?
    The rum is aged at high altitude in the Guatemalan mountains, where the cooler climate slows the ageing process and helps to preserve its delicate flavour and aroma.
    How is premium rum drunk?
    Best neat, slightly below room temperature, or with a single cube of ice. Mixing into cocktails is better suited to younger, less complex rums.
    How long does an open bottle of rum last?
    Thanks to its high alcohol content, rum practically does not deteriorate once opened and can be stored at room temperature for many months or even years.
    Which rum is suitable for cocktails?
    Younger, less complex rums are suited to cocktails such as Mojito or Cuba Libre - premium long-aged versions would be lost in a mixed drink.
