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 compared this to 4 other great aged rums. While not the best, it wasn’t far behind it. The smooth flavor of this rum keeps bringing me back for more.
You can’t go wrong with it. Drink up my friends!!

Hard to imagine something a whole lot better than this. Sipped neat it's incredibly smooth with wonderful mix of spices, vanilla, and caramel. The lingering aftertaste is just delightful. Definitely what I personally enjoy. Pairs wonderfully with chocolate or a nice madura cigar.

I love this rum. It is sweet with a full mouth feel, lots of vanilla / molasses flavors, very smooth, and a long finish.

Superb sipping one for me. Very balanced taste with sweetness a bit spicy, fruit like. Caramel, some orange. Darker colour. Love it.

Had a chance to taste Zacapa XO at a friends house. Now he is a very good friend that I will visit more often. A straight sipper, smooth, nice body, lingering aftertaste. Not overly complex and no strong spices. Gentle, balanced, sip it slowly and enjoy.
Content a bit pricy for the taste, but I guess the price paid for the brand ...

Not being a huge fan of Zacapa (too sweet) I was not expecting this full bodied smooth rum with great depth.nut brown color, smooth taste of mild island spices blended together elegantly. Recommend drinking neat.

They have done a great Job but more effort has gone in to the bottle and the Marketing than the Rum itself
I like it I drink it £82 in UK 2021

Possibly the best bottle of rum on the market. When Zaya sold out and became mass produced I had to find a replacement. This bottle is very pricey but worth every cent. It’s delicate and delicious.

Good if you like cognac-barrel aging

This rum comes in a really nice looking box with the interior pre-shaped to fit the beautiful bottle. That said, now to the rum. The smell is good, the taste is good with sweet notes, but.... I am not a fan of the aftertaste of the cognac barrel aging. That's the 7 for. Otherwise I would give it a 8-8.5. Nice to have in the collection for its beautiful bottle and box.
