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

Costs as an XO cognac, but cognac is much more difficult to produce.
Duft: lækker sød duft. vanilie, røget, blomme, kandis og en lille smule sprit.
Smag: sød og lidt røget i smagen. Karamel og blomme. God lang sød eftersmag
The best rum I have drinked so far. The smoothnes is the rum is very pleasant
Definitiv ein hervorragender Rum, süss, mild und komplex. Der Rum schmeckt für mich nach Honig, Vanille, Schokolade und nach Früchten. Sehr feiner und angenehmer Geschmack, ein Traum.
I love the thicker viscosity of the Zacapa XO that coats the palate providing smooth complex flavors with a light burn. Great when it is cold, warm, with a cigar, or on special occasions.
Great value for money, honey nose and complex finish
Any rum-lover shall try/taste this darling... #zacapa
Very similar to the 23, a little less sweet and a little oaky.
First off, I recognize the fact that this rum is sugared fairly heftily.
With that being said...
It has a nice mahogany color with shades of red.
Its aroma is pleasant with a little alcohol sting.
It has some spiciness to it but also some sweetness and flavors that come from the cognac barrels in which it is finished for an additional couple of years. Flavors of vanilla and toffee seemed prominent to me. Other flavors were detected below the surface but not identifiable. The finish is somewhat sweet yet spicy and lasts rather long.
My personal objection is the $100 price tag. I feel it's about $20 too much.
It's a fine rum and far superior to the Zacapa 23 Solera but if you're going to spend that much I recommend Mount Gay 1703 Old Cask rum, Clement Cuvee Homere Rhum, and Flor de Cana 25 Single Estate rum.

It is rich with coffee notes and a little tobacco.
"The nose is sweet, dark chocolate with bursts of sweet citrus notes."

Solid, but similar

Too close to the cheaper Cask 23 version to warrant the higher price. Zacapa overall is a good rum to get people hooked on rum - very drinkable, tasty, but not a ton of complexity. Definitely looks good on the bar and as a gift though.
Even so, I like it when I just want to sit back, toss back, and not have to think about it.
