Ron Zacapa La Armonia Heavenly Cask Collection 40% Vol. 0,7l

Ron Zacapa Heavenly Cask Collection – La Armonia

Sistema Solera – Guatemala Premium Aged Rum

The harmony between liquid and cask is what makes for truly great aged spirits, be it whiskey, anejo tequila or, in this case, rum. Guatemalan rum producers Ron Zacapa celebrate this connection with the third release in their Heavenly cask collection, Zacapa 23 La Armonia – The Harmony Cask. The new expression is the penultimate release in the range.

Each release in the Heavenly Cask collection celebrates one of the four casks used during the Zacapa Sistema Solera aging process. It follows the release of the first limited edition, Zacapa 23 La Doma – The Taming Cask and the second, El Alma – The Soul Cask.

The limited edition collection is made in Zacapa’s aging facility in Guatemala, the ‘House Above the Clouds’, which is situated in a series of mountain peaks and active volcanoes – 2,300m above sea level.

“We are deeply proud of the uniqueness and complexity that Zacapa 23 offers, and The Heavenly Collection allows us to further emphasize this by further aging the liquid and pushing the boundaries with fascinating flavor combinations,” Lorena Vásquez, Master Blender for Zacapa. “La Armonia is a wonderful expression; the effortless rhythm, flavors and aromas are perfectly balanced and beautiful; with hints of red berries, pecans and everything reminiscent of crops that grow abundantly in the Guatemalan countryside. The silky, smooth, nutty and caramelized berry sensation is a sophisticated expression of our landscape’s bounty: rich, sweet and delicious.”

Ana Mohzo, Global Senior Brand Manager for Diageo comments: “La Armonia is the third of four very special limited-edition bottles from Ron Zacapa; and we are thrilled to present the latest expression of our Guatemalan roots. Each bottling has truly encapsulated the essence of the magical place where Zacapa is made; and we are very proud that La Armonia is part of the collection. We hope aficionados and collectors of ultra-premium rum enjoy La Armonia as much as we did creating it.”

On the nose, the rum offers notes of Oloroso Sherry, caramelized berries, pecan pie and hazelnuts. The palate finds more of the same, and the brand recommends combining with a grilled tenderloin with a sherry sauce and grated coconut. As for enjoying the rum, they suggest it neat or over a large cube.
