I have chosen to mention these rum labels not only for their quality but because of some personal experiences that have allowed me to know the products that I am going to show you.
Before starting, I would like to tell you that I would be delighted if you would leave me a feedback in case I found the article interesting with your comment, Thank you!
RUM FOR TASTING, WHAT'S THIS?
Often the meditation distillates are not recommended for use in mixing but for a smooth tasting of the product. This is recommended because the peculiar characteristics of the tasting spirits are covered by the other ingredients used to make the cocktails.
The rums in particular belonging to this category tend to invest in some characteristics that can be the method and the refinement time, so as to be able to give them a unique taste. It is often recommended to combine some snacks with the tasting of the distillate.
In this case it is chocolate and in particular flavored with different spices including the pepe. Let's go now to see which are the three rums that I have chosen and that you yourself can easily find on Amazon.
RUM ZACAPA
Among the first rum labels I want to tell you about, I chose it Zacapa as it is one of the best known in the market. In detail, I have chosen three different types that differ in the characteristics of each. The company takes its name from the municipality of Guatemala Zacapa, country of origin of this rum.
SOLERA METHOD
The hearth method is a method of refinement which involves placing several barrels to form a pyramid and starting by pouring the rum from the first barrel positioned at the top.
After some time, a part of the liquid is taken from the first barrel and poured into the barrels below while the space that is freed up in the first barrel is filled with new liquid..
In this way it will be possible to have a mixture of rum produced in different periods in the barrels positioned further down. In this way the final blend will take on an increasingly particular taste.
ZACAPA CENTENARIO 23 ROOM SOLERA
This label is based on a production that exploits the method solera. As a starting product, del pure sugar cane juice which unlike molasses has a stronger aroma. Fermentation lasts 5 days and is started with a selected yeast family that is extracted from pineapple. The barrels used that previously contained whiskey and sherry go to perfect the aromatic profile of the distillate.

ZACAPA BLACK EDITION
Again the rum was aged using the solera method in barrels that previously contained whiskey and sherry. Protagonist of this edition, on which the name of the label is also based, and the degree of roasting of the barrels used for the aging process. In fact, the wood is processed with a higher degree of toasting. The final taste will therefore be more decisive than the rest of the products of the same line.
