Zacapa Rum Unveils Their FAULTless La Pasión – The Passion Cask

The luxury spirits world isn’t an easy market to crack however Zacapa and their Heavenly Cask Collection has proven a runaway hit with Rum lovers and with the release of their limited-edition La Pasión, the brand continues to go from strength to strength. 

This fourth and final addition to The Heavenly Cask Collection promises a sensory journey that marks the grand finale of The Heavenly Cask Collection. Lucky enough to get our hands on the bottle for a deep dive, join us while we explore the full spectrum of flavour from the brand on everyone’s wish-list.

Zacapa’s Master Blender, Lorena Vázquez, has been hard at work, marking this latest release as a homage to the Pedro Ximénez sherry cask, a pivotal player in the Solera System ageing process. Lorena, a maestro in the world of spirits, carefully selects a medley of cask types and styles to capture specific flavours, textures, and the perfect color, ensuring each sip is a journey through the Guatemalan landscape.

In collaboration with cent.ldn, Zacapa introduces a bespoke ceramic candle inspired by La Pasión – The Passion Cask. Handcrafted by the talented Kayleigh Peters, each candle is one of only 50, making it an exclusive and collectible piece. It’s clear Zacapa had the whole tasting experience in mind with this release, the candle and the aroma it emits helped to elevate the fruity notes of raspberry, peach, strawberry, and pineapple, combined with the woodsy aroma, mirror the mahogany color and sweetness of La Pasión. With a burn time of 65 hours, these candles transcend the ordinary, inviting you to bask in the opulence of Zacapa.

Crafted 2,300 meters above sea level in Zacapa’s enchanting ageing facility in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala, La Pasión captures the essence of a magical journey. The ‘House Above the Clouds’ provides the perfect conditions for slow aging, allowing the rum’s flavour to unfold.

For us, the proof is in the taste and scent. The taste is truly enchanting, the fruity undertones add a refreshing twist, creating a vibrant and dynamic flavour profile with subtle hints of saffron, jasmine, amber, musk, and woods, adding depth and character to each sip. We enjoyed neat on the rocks and while the sweet to smell with vanilla, the taste is much deeper and bold. 

Bottled at 40% ABV and priced at £75 / €80 for 70cl, this is the ultimate self-gift for super-premium rum lovers or for loved ones seeking an exclusive taste of Guatemala.
