Understanding Salera Aging
Salera aging is a unique process that blends rums ranging in age from 6 to 23 years. This technique, inspired by fine wines from Jerez in Spain, has been a fundamental practice for Zacapa number 23 Rum. The rums undergo this aging process at high altitudes referred to as 'the house above the clouds,' which contributes to the distinct flavor profile of the final product. This combination of Salera aging and altitude results in a rum that stands out in the spirits industry, offering a unique story that can be shared.
