Ron Zacapa XO rum

Ron Zacapa XO

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

Bought a bottle of this for a little over £70 whilst on holiday in Tenerife. Beautifully balanced, sweet, very slight smoke, vanilla, and a super smooth finish.

I am not sure if this is exactly the same rum as the other ratings listed here for Zacapa XO. There seems to be a few variants. Being an expensive run (I think nearly USD 200 duty free) I expect this to be great. I am disappointed to know that I first tried it with coke at a fancy restaurant/bar in Houston, but that was when someone else was buying I didn't know better. Now I have my own bottle unopened on the top shelf of my rum collection and I really look forward to finding an occasion to open it. Expecting this to be a 9 or 9.5 out of 10.

I know that price should never affect ratings, and Zacapa XO is a solid 9. It's a tiny bit smoother than it's brother R Z 23, a hint more spice in the nose, and surprisingly a bit drier than the 23. If I was asked to choose however between one bottle of Zacapa XO and 2-3 bottles of the Zacapa 23...well...please dont ask!

I enjoyed everything about this rum from its presentation in the bottle to its scent when opened and the finish on the palette. I am not experienced at the nuisances of different flavors or scents to the palette or nose. But I know enough to say this is the best aged rum I have had to date.

I'm new to aged rums, but this is my favorite so far! Notes of vanilla, butterscotch, and leather on the nose, smooth and buttery mouth feel, with a somewhat ripened fruit finish. It's a little too costly as an everyday rum for myself, but deserves a place on the shelf for those special occasions.

Für mich das Nonplus-Ultra. Bisher kommt kein anderer Rum an diesen ran.

The very best that I have ever had. I've never purchased any rum product twice except for Zacapa XO and the 23...

Var skuffet i starten i forhold til prisen, men får den lige lov at hvile lidt i glasset bliver den ganske god

Sophisticated and smooth, rum raisin both on the nose and taste. Perfect with a nice piece of chocolate!
Overall a good dram. Not sure of the value for money though.
