Zaka Rum
In today’s somewhat frenzied rum world, Zaka brings us back to basics: rum, its people, their passion and the fruit of their labour. From the very first instant, the magic of the Zaka persona operated and drew us in, in an almost mystical way, and we just had to taste these delectable rums! You cannot really explain it, but one suddenly feels closer to these worlds, these lands of rum and its people. What if true luxury lies in simplicity and shared enjoyment?

The story
In traditional Voodoo culture, Zaka is the god of peasantry and agriculture, often portrayed as a simple, generous man who likes human contact. The Zaka Rum collection is a tribute to the planters, farmers and producers whose passion and unique skills, passed down through the generations, have resulted in some of the finest rums in the world. Each Zaka rum has been carefully selected and invites you to join the community of rum aficionados in sharing the fruit of their labour in all its beauty and simplicity. Like the god Zaka, these sipping rums embody the spirit of shared enjoyment and conviviality. Now, it’s your turn to share the secret!
The people
Zaka is an iconic figure who represents a desire for human contact, proximity and simplicity. The collection was conceived to share these values and this community culture, creating an almost spiritual connection between the producer and the rum aficionado. The god Zaka plays a mystical role in the history of rum. The daily reality of the local people, their commitment to hard work, and their devotion to their land and culture. The passion of the producer, of the master rum-maker, who shapes the product and lends it its nobility through time. It is these elements that each Zaka rums expresses, devoid of artifice, bringing them to life for each of us.
The tasting
To appreciate their superb aromatic expressions and flavours, Zaka rums are best served neat or on the rocks. Zaka Panama, floral and spicy with notes of violets, expresses its charm and complexity through its signature double ageing. Zaka Mauritius, a blend of pure cane juice and molasses, reveals its voluptuousness, elegance and exoticism through notes of citrus, candied fruit and vanilla. Last but not least, Zaka Trinidad brings us a fresh and floral structure and a surprising explosion of citrus and pear flavours.
