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

The taste is good and sweet but tu priced is too much for the taste
Zacapa is quality guarantee, one of the best rums I’ve drinked
Very Smooth with a fantastic depth of flavour really a special rum. Quite pricey and not necessarily easy to come across but you get what you pay for here.
My third rum from Ron Zacapa tonight. The XO with 40% ABV
Nose : Fruity notes, wine, caramel, vanilla , hints from coffee. Pleasant, but nothing special
Palate : sweet and mild, caramel, rumraisin chocolate. Yeah ... good, totally my taste
Finish : medium to long, mouth-filling intensive, mild with sweet honey notes.
Conclusion : well, let's say, it's really a good one. Totally meets my taste. All flavors are very present. But ... not for 100 € and more. That is too much if you compare it with the Zacapa 23.
Normally 9 points but 1 point less for the high price, that is not warrantable
Excellent taste, sophisticated, might even describe a bit light(ish) without being diluted, flavourous, slightly sweet, not too much of alcohol burn.
Love this sipper and is one of my go-tos when available at the bar; the only problem is most every day bars around me do not stock this. I always make it a point to tell them THEY NEED TO!
This is an excellent rum without a doubt but for the price, I would take Zafra any time. It has a nice balance of sweetness and a smooth burn and is very easy to drink.
Very good rum at 8.5 points. The taste is good, the finish is slightly sharp. It has a lot of competition in its price category. I know better rums for that money.
I enjoyed it but it is not worth the price. I was hoping for something better.

What a delicious rum. The presentation is top notch. Box to bottle is very nice. The nose is beautiful. Burnt sugar, fresh sugar cane, caramel, toffee, creme brulee, perfect barrel notes, hints of cognac and dark fruits. No ethanol at all. Amazing nose. The pallet is just as amazing. Everything I got on the nose. From beginning to end, this rum hits all of the pallet. Nice medium finish. A must for your collection. I love it, even for the price. Wish they proofed it up a couple notches. It would knock it out of the park. Highly recommend.
