Rum is a distilled alcoholic beverage made from sugarcane byproducts like molasses, or directly from sugarcane juice. It has a long history of production globally, including Australia, where it is reported to be the first effective currency in the first settlement. Its taste profile is diverse, varying based on factors like the source of the sugarcane, fermentation, distillation, and ageing processes.
White rums are typically light-bodied and sweet, with subtle flavours, while darker rums, aged in oak barrels, develop richer, more complex notes of caramel, vanilla, spice, and dried fruit. Rum production is closely associated with the Caribbean, where many islands have a long history of sugarcane cultivation and rum making.

Zacapa Solera Gran Reserva is a premium rum that instead of molasses, uses the so-called "virgin honey", which is obtained from the first pressing of sugar cane. The barrels used in the aging of Zacapa rum were previously used to age American whiskies and wines from Jerez and Pedro Ximénez. The secret of Zacapa is its slow aging in the cold lands of the highlands of Guatemala, which contributes to slowing down the process, creating a final balance between the aromas and flavors extracted during the process.
