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

If you already like the Ron Zacapa 23 Solera or Black Label, you will definitely enjoy this one. Even if you didn't, you will probably enjoy the Ron Zacapa XO.
Among the best in my book, sweet and smooth with a lasting taste. Worth every penny.

Big brother of the Solera 23. Not sure the jump in quality justifies the jump in price, but certainly a nice rum. A bit less sweet than the Solera 23, more complex taste and subtle flavours.

I just have the impression, that the older versions where a tad better.

You Need to taste the old rum (bottles before 2013) the Company was sold, and now it has a Commercial taste, available on alle Airports of the world. it's a pitty, but still great, complex.

Lots of flavours, incredibly smooth. Hardly any burn at all, my favourite sweet/sugared rum.
Would have loved to try it without the added sugar, as I believe the rum could actually be good!

Can't really add much to what's been said before. It's a high quality sipping rum that is a joy to savour.

Greatly smooth (with decent burn on tongue), fantastic bottle. But I choose 23y (or Diplomatico) for twice lower price and almost same adventure.

The Zacapa XO comes with a large black box and a beautiful bottle (image). On the inside of the box you can read about the Zacapa XO. Very stylish!
In the glass you find a dark coulor, a bit darker than the 23 year old Zacapa. At first it is som alcohol on the nose but if you let it rest in the glass for a few minutes the alcohol disappears and you find toffee, spice and vanilla. The aroma is very smooth and nice. I always let my rum rest for 1 minute per year old in the glass. Makes a big difference.
In the mouth the Zacapa XO is very smooth and sweet at first and after a while I get some spice and oak. All the flavors stays long in in the mouth. The flavor of spice and a little taste of cognac stays for a long time. Very smooth in the throat.
The Zacapa XO is a sipper that I enjoy neat. I think it is a top quality luxury rum but for me there are some better sippers that I have given 10/10.
