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

Ein sehr gut gemachter Rum ...nicht zu süss. ...aber gehört nicht zu meinen absoluten Lieblingen.

All the elements to be amazing are there but it's just too sweet, it lures you in with it's aroma only to promise to give you diabetes.

Very tastefull, but also quite expensive. Full, sweet mixture, with good aftertaste. But for the money spend, there are better options

Lækker god rom. Men ikke umiddelbart bedre ind 23 års zacapa som er billigere. Derfor vil jeg da anbefalede at købe den istedet.
A perfectly drinkable rum which I purchased as a treat after enjoying the Zacapa Solera 23 so much, but at around twice the price of this rum it didn't live up to my expectations unfortunately. I found it a little to harsh with the alcohol being slightly agressive, Apart from that its a nice rum, I was just expecting a little more.

Muy buena relación precio sabor. Si eres un tomador de ron es must tenerlo en tu cava. No es muy dulce pero si lo suficiente para tener una muy buena experiencia

The Zacapa 23 was one of the first rums i tasted,now after afew years,tasting many other rums i seek a more complex and unique golden nectar. A friend of mine offered this tasting session kindly ,and the only true downside of this rum is it's price.
Easy to drink,of course more complex and blooming as the 'cheaper ' Zacapas,it is a true delight

Foarte fin, foarte delicat, gust rafinat, un buchet de arome incredibil de parfumate. Merita incercat

Rum molto dolce come da tradizione del marchio, persistenza sufficiente.
Scarso rapporto qualità/prezzo, si trova di meglio a circa la metà.
Bella la bottiglia, ma mi aspettavo decisamente di più.

Zacapa XO 40% 40% Guatemala
Eye: Deep reddish mahogany
Nose: Starts with whiffs of stable and sty, ammonia and ethanol that numbs the upper inside of the nose. Then hedges like crushed thuja and hornbeam together with hazel. A peculiar fresh and "cool" scent that reminds me of spring. Very unusual in that respect. Moist soil, clear brook, new leather, hyacinths and lupines. Restrained scent that struggle behind a cloud of ethanol. Then a string of green lime. And then back to the flowers again, predominantly hyacinths and tulips now. Very intriguing smell in this one. Finishes with fragrances like Tabac, caramel and black tea.
Mouth: Developments of broad sweetness, much more than on the nose. Spreads honey, coffee, coconut butter and a plethora of very pleasant spices. Appealing exotic- and oriental elements through the whole experience. Beautifully balanced with a toasted and sweet central theme that lingers unexpectedly in a fresh and spirited fashion. It is long and ends with a welcome dry oakiness.
Reaction: What the smell didn´t manage to convey, the taste made up for. The mouth is excellent. It is a lovely rum that the producer must be very confident and content with. The intention is clear and obviously meticulously delivered. Here we have a complex nectar which is engaging, big and elegant at the same time. One has manage to create a rum that is immediately well received and ingratiating without being boring or overbearing. As an old whisky & cognac appreciator I sometimes find rum to be a little insipid and all too sweet but I think this one serve as a good ambassador for the stuff. It is in a good price range and is easy enough to find (at least in the Nordics). The bottle is very "elegant" which I don´t care for, but hey, who cares when it is up there with the classics?
