8 times out of 10 on a semi cold wintery evening we would all opt to staying at home wrapped in fluffy pjs, watching re-runs of our favourite girly series and sipping slowly on hot coco – but last night we didn’t. And it was fantastic!
With a three course meal curated by a world-class chef, paired with Guatemala produced premium rum, RON ZACAPA, this once in a lifetime experience at Cellar Door at The Westcliff Hotel changed everything.
Mastering the blending, stabilization and maturing process of long aged rum, RON ZACAPA 23, goes beyond your usual ‘rum and coke’ order, and offers those consuming an intricate composition of honeyed butterscotch, spiced oak and raisined fruit that’s an absolute pleasure to drink and enjoy.
Highlights of the evening? Sipping the delicious flavours that make up this rum, and the mystic fusion menu:
