'Aged Above The Clouds' is not only a great slogan but according to Lorena Vásquez, Master Blender at Zacapa, it is one of the most important aspects of the success of their lineup of rums. Starting with the distillation of virgin sugar cane grown from the volcanic soils in the valleys of southern Guatemala and then bringing it up to age in casks at 2,300 meters helps develop the flavors and aromas that Vásquez, a former chemist, says gives Zacapa its unique taste profile.
