Zafra that will HARVEST your soul and you’ll love every bit of the process. The harvest was soo bountiful it won this delicious Rum the BEST OF 2015 Flaviar Award in its respective category.
Zafra, Spanish for, you’ve guessed it - harvest, is the brainchild of quite the legendary Master Distiller Francisco “Don Pancho” Fernandez Perez. Through the course of 50 years he travelled the world to assist in training of many Master Blenders & to taught the ways of many spirits - Vodka in Poland, Whisky in Scotland and Wine in France. After 50 years in the business he considers himself to be in his prime. Zafra 21 is in his humble opinion, the pinnacle of his career.
Are your high expectations shaped by the price, presentation and marketing spin & buzz? In this case, they should be. This Rum-my nectar matures for at least 21 years in ex-Bourbon barrels. Once blended & let loose it comes at you with both guns blazing… but it won’t shoot you down, as it is quite the gentleman’s drink -rich, nuanced, sophisticated and full of character. Zafra-licious, especially since it won’t scrape your piggy bank.

Member Reviews and Ratings of Zafra 21 Year Old Master Reserve Rum
Beth,
This is wonderful. I am generally more a whiskey person than rum but this is tasty - less sweet and more caramel and vanilla than most rum.
Stephen,
Delicious! Got it in one of the sampler packs and need to get a bottle. Very smooth neat, great sipper.
Marcus,
Very smooth, strong Carmel tastes, almost too sweet. Had a very pleasant aftertaste. Would definitely purchase a bottle.
Jack,
Great Rum
Rusty,
Very tasty rum with full flavor! I can taste the molasses, but it isn't overwhelming by any means.
