As National Rum Day (August 16th) approaches, Zacapa extends an invitation to experience their exquisite Zacapa X.O firsthand. Masterfully crafted by the esteemed female master blender, Lorena Vásquez, Zacapa distinguishes itself by using first press sugar cane instead of the commonly used molasses.

Whether savored neat, on the rocks, or in signature cocktails, Zacapa promises an unparalleled experience, further enriched by the hand-woven Petate decor on each bottle, a testament to Guatemalan artistry, handcrafted by a community of over 700 dedicated women.

The Moxy Miami South Beach Hotel, a staple resort located only steps from the beach, is the first venue partner for an ecoSPIRITS rum in the United States. Candela is eco-friendly from start to end – from locally sourced ingredients and production powered by renewable energy to an intelligent epicenter with energy-saving aging practices and environmentally conscious distribution in partnership with low-waste distributor ecoSPIRITS. To support this further, Candela also works with the ecoSPIRITS Forest Program, whereby one tree is planted for every two cycles of an ecoTOTE in endangered rainforest areas in countries such as Indonesia. The Forest Program, which is verified, monitored, and reported through an industry-leading digital platform, benefits venue partners who can generate additional carbon mitigation beyond the substantial carbon footprint reduction from their use of the ecoSPIRITS circular packaging technology.
The ecoSPIRITS circular distribution system, which includes the ecoTOTE format, reduces packaging waste by more than 90%, reduces transportation costs by as much as 50% and delivers an estimated 60-90% reduction in the carbon emissions associated with spirits packaging and distribution. Cheers to sippin' sustainably!
