Very nice flavor and extremely smooth. Definitely carries the Zacapa taste, caramel overtone. Much less sweet than the 23 year. A true high end rum. Great, but not as good as Four Square.
Amazing amazing amazing!!!Strong and memorable taste. One of the best rums I have ever tasted!!!!Do yourselves a favor and buy a gift for you!!!

It's just a pleasant drink. Smooth and sweet, very easy to drink, yet for me not that interesting flavour in context of some its competitors. It's still very high quality though and I do drink it and enjoy it for a change, once in a blue moon.

Not much to it. Lacks flavor profile. Nothing that really sticks out as special. For an over $100 per bottle, would go another route every time. Not a good look for Zacapa.

Received as a gift. Looked good in the box, nice bottle with a dark colour rum. On opening the bottle there is a sherry scent. Taste is a little spicy and fruity but without any punch or length of flavour. Not a rum I will buy again.

The Ron Zacapa Centenario XO is a solera rum from Guatemala, which was blended from different rums between 10-25 years. The rum made in Column Style is made from sugar cane honey, which means nothing else than a sugar cane syrup is used. The rum is bottled in a pretty bottle with 40% alcohol and contains caramel coloring, approx. 20g/l sugar and glycerin.
The rum is very thick and sweet on the nose. Lots of caramel and burnt sugar, vanilla, toffee and caramelized fruit. There is also a light barrel and wood influence. The Nose is ok. On the palate, the rum is mainly very sweet with caramel, vanilla and burnt brown sugar. There is also some wood and a very slight bitter note from the barrel. The rum is creamy while drinking, but the body is thin and evaporates quickly at the same time (Sugar and Glycerin at it's finest). Not much is left and the rum wants to be drunk quickly so you don't start thinking about it.
The Zacapa XO is rather disappointing for me, without having any real expectations. The influence of sugar and glycerin is clearly visible. The profile one-dimensional and boring. For 100 euros, the quality is not sufficient and the taste is clearly intended for the mass market. A super easy sipper, which you could use for getting drunk and for harmless drinking if it weren't so expensive. Please buy three bottles of Botucal (Diplomatico) because it has the same quality and has the same purpose. Fast easy drinking.
Der Ron Zacapa Centenario XO ist ein Solera Rum aus Guatemala, welcher aus verschiedenen Rums zwischen 10-25 Jahren geblendet wurde. Der Rum im Column Style hergestellte Rum wird aus dem Zuckerrohr Honig hergestellt, was nichts anderes bedeutet, als das ein Zuckerrohr Sirup genutzt wird. Der Rum wird in einer hübschen Flasche mit 40% Alkohol abgefüllt und enthält den Farbstoff Zuckerkulör, ca. 20g/l Zucker und Glycerin.
Der Rum ist in der Nase sehr dick und süß. Viel Karamel und gebrannter Zucker, Vanille, Toffee und karamelisierte Früchte. Dazu kommt ein leichter Fass und Holz Einfluss. Am Gaumen ist der Rum vor allem Süß mit Karamell, Vanille und gebranntem braunen Zucker. Dazu kommt Holz und eine ganz leichte Bitternote vom Fass. Der Rum wirkt beim tirnken cremig, der Körper ist aber dünn und verfliegt schnell. Viel bleibt nicht über und der RUm möchte schnell getrunken werden.
Der Zacapa XO ist für mich eher enttäuschend, ohne das ich eine echte Erwartungshaltung hatte. Der Einfluss von Zucker und Glycerin ist klar erkennbar. Das Profil eindimensional und langweilig. Für 100Euro ist die Qualität nicht ausreichend und geschmacklich deutlich für den Massenmarkt bestimmt. Ein super Easy Sipper, welchen man zum betrinken und zum scharmlosen saufen nutzen könnte, wenn er nicht so teuer wäre.
