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

Smooth and very well balanced with vanilla, marzipan, oak, caramel and honey aroma. Long aftertaste, a little bit too sweet for me but waiting so long to taste it and it's was great experience. Must be part of your collection ! Real rate = 8,5
This rum has a very nice smell of oak, cognac, and caramel, and the taste follows the nose. It's nice, but to me it's not quite on par with some of other top rums I've had as I think the cognac aging is a bit much and takes away from the rum slightly. But if you enjoy cognac, then perhaps you'll like this even more than I did.
First of all.. The bottle.. I´m a sucker for nice bottles.. This one tingles my nervs.. It beautiful..
Nose : Nothing at all to complain about.. Nice dark tone to the smell.
Taste : The thickness of the taste.. It totally fills your mouth almost like drinking sirup..
Finish : A long and strong finish all the tones fade away apart from each other and opens up in your mouth.. Perfection in a bottle..
I must say that i was surpriced when i tried this one out.. Since my first Zacapa was the awful Solera 23 i didn´t have any hopes up.. But a friend of mine had a few bottles and he told me to buy one cheap.. If i did´t like it i could always sample the rest of the bottle he told me.. Well.. One zip and i realised that i would never sample a drop from that bottle and hide it when we had guests.. ;)
Got it from a friend who went to Guatemala. Love this rum! My collection is not that big yet, but this bottle made it definitely in the very top league.
Way too expensive for what it is, was actually happy when it ended.
Low ABV, feels diluted and bitter
I have also tested the “23” and the “Royal”, but I like this one best. It’s more powerful and has a deeper taste than the others.
The sweetness is well balanced and it’s very smooth and len. You can recognise vanilla, dried fruit as well as different spices.
Zacapa 23 is one of my favorites and the XO takes it to another level. Smooth and delicious. Can be over priced so look for bargains. Beautiful color, scent and smooth taste.
This rum is so different from the rest if the Zacapa family. Heavier, it does not have the classic alcohol aftertaste. Love it.

It is rich with coffee notes and a little tobacco.

When i tried the 23 a couple of years back i couldn't see what all the fuss was about . So i was in no hurry to pay a small fortune to try this one. Luckily i got to try it the other day at a friends wedding reception.
I do have a bottle of the older version with the different decanter which i still haven't opened but might do now to see if they taste the same.. As with the 23 not much on the nose and i would of liked to of left it in the glass for a while but it was already in a glass with an ice cube.. I tasted vanilla , brown sugar and maybe something florally ? Sweet , smooth easy to drink.. whats not to like apart from the vague 6 to 35 year age statement.. Beautiful packaging with a box , iv'e even got the boxed glasses to use when i open my own bottle !!
