Zacapa XO, the symbol of excellence from the Zapacaneca distillery, is a premium rum from Guatemala. This exceptional rum is crafted through a careful blend of rums aged between 6 and 25 years and an additional period in French oak barrels that have housed cognac. This process gives Zacapa XO a complexity of aromas and flavors, highlighting notes of black cherries and spices. Unlike other rums, Zacapa utilizes 'virgin honey', derived from the first pressing of sugar cane, making it unique in its class. The aging process called solera allows Zacapa to be stored in barrels previously used for aging American whiskies, sherry wines, and Pedro Ximénez. This method, combined with the altitude of 2300 meters in the Guatemalan highlands, results in an exceptional balance between aromas and flavors. With a mahogany color and intense red hues, Zacapa XO presents aromas of mature oak wood, toasted caramel, and orange peel on the nose. On the palate, it is recognized for its smoothness and sweetness, with prolonged notes of chocolate, dried fruits like raisins and dates. Ron Zacapa Centenario XO is ideal for enjoying neat, served in a lowball glass to allow its complexity to shine. Recognized in 2012 as one of the most valued brands globally, this rum is designed not only for enjoyment but also perfect for gifting to rum lovers.
