Brugal 1888 Grand Reserve Rum

The Edrington Group’s purchase of Brugal in 2008 did not only result in a Scotch distiller learning about another category, it also gave the rum firm access to years of expertise in oak, especially in the realm of Sherry casks (Edrington owns The Macallan and Highland Park). The first evidence of this was the 1888, which is first aged up to 8 years in American oak barrels followed by Spanish oak sherry casks for up to 6 years.

Zacapa Solera Gran Reserva 23 Rum

This rum was created in 1976 in the highlands of Guatemala (Aged at 7,545 ft above the clouds). This sugarcane rum features a woven band around the middle as a reference to the original hand-woven palm leaf bottle cover.

Solera is a process of aging liquids by fractional blending so that the finished product is a mixture of ages, with the average age increasing as the process continues over many years.  The solera method is used to age Ron Zacapa 23, which results in a combination of rums aged between 6 and 23 years.
