Guatemala | Aged | 40% ABV

Ron Zacapa XO Rum is produced in the highlands of Guatemala where it is distillled from fresh cane juice. The rum is then aged from 6 to 23 years at 7544 feet above sea level at 62 °F (17 °C) using the solera process. The solera aging process incorporates barrels that previously held American whiskeys, sherries, wines and Cognac

The unique Ron Zacapa XO glass decantur features an impression of a woven band around the middle, which is in reference to the original hand woven palm leaf petate bottle cover that covered the bottle

I can appreciate this. This rum is produced with love. The color is the deepest most elegant hue I've ever seen on a rum, its looks like a cognac. the most astonishing thing about this rum is how smooth it is. Too smooth. So smooth in fact you can almost forget to taste it. Once you remember to taste this rum however, its indescribable, unlike any rum I've ever tasted.

Price value isn’t good at Zacapa rums. It’s the second I tried and again.. If you smell the rum your eyes opens wide. It’s something exited but if you taste it’s quite flat and no long aftertaste what I really miss. Not that it’s bad or something but u can buy something more rich tasting for that money.

I got this on special for $150 aud on the nose brown sugar and alcohol it's a nice dry rum without the taste of extra sugar smooth without to much burn with a pleasing after-taste good but not as good as expected with the hype and in its price range I wouldn't recommend it

Avast! Havin' had the Ron Zacapa 23, I can tell you that this be even better. She be sweet smellin', but not terribly so. There be a spiciness to her with some oak, caramel, and, unless I am mistook, a hint of sweet crisp apple. Real delicate like. On the tongue, she be extra smooth with a lot of flavor and not much burn goin' down the hatch. She not be terribly sweet, but not dry, and there be a bit of spice, burned sugar, some oak, a hint of smoke... and again with the apple at the very end. Curse me for a lubber, the apple were the biggest surprise. This be a real mature rum with lots to offer. Given the price of this beast, you might be thinkin' about savin' your coin for more economical rum choices. This one be worth a shot, mates. Even if it only be one shot, make it count!

Ve vůni nic výrazného, barva jednoznačně dobarvovana. Chuť příjemná, jemna drevitost, vanilka. Závěr mega jemný nic nečekaného se zde neodehrava. Na zacapu dobrý

Solid, attractive rum. Good neat or on the rocks. Not too sweet or dry. Very drinkable but maybe a little over priced.

Spicy and definitely stronger than the Solera 23. I bring this out on special occasions when I want to celebrate. It has a nice finish.

This is soft and smooth in the mouth, a silky suave rum that coats the palate with a thick honey-like sweetness. There is so much going on here; we have dried currants and apricot brandy melted into toasted chestnuts and deep dark brown sugar. Oranges and marshmallows lie under soft cinnamon and nutmeg spices with just a whisper of allspice and cloves. This is striking in its complexity yet every flavour is acting in unison with no off notes or bitterness. The oak and vanilla hold everything together.
