Ron Zacapa Centenario Edición Negra Solera Rum 750mL is a bold, smoky, and sophisticated expression of Guatemala’s most celebrated rum. Crafted from the first pressing of sugarcane juice—known as “virgin honey”—and aged to perfection in the cool highlands of Quetzaltenango, this limited edition is designed for those who appreciate depth and intensity in their rum.

Edición Negra is aged using the traditional Solera system, with rums between 6 and 24 years old matured in double-charred American oak and sherry casks. This process imparts layers of dark spice, charred wood, and smoky sweetness while maintaining Zacapa’s signature smoothness.

Encased in a sleek black bottle with the signature handwoven Petate band, Ron Zacapa Edición Negra is both visually striking and sensorially rich—a must-have for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
