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

Sorry, I can't rate the taste of this, it just looks far to good to crack open! Would rate it a 9, but the box even though it's nice, could be made slightly better. & at close to $200 here, it's just to far damn expensive.
Einer der Besten, doch preislich leider etwas zu hoch :-(
It's always nice to cross one of the wish list.
Absolutely no alcohol burn on the nose, very smooth delivery. In the mouth I taste black liquorice, coffee and a hint of cognac; very nice.
At a $100 a bottle, you can't go wrong.
The strong burnt caramel mixed with pipe tobacco smell adds to sweet and spicy flavour. Long and smooth finish leaving hint of vanilla, smoke and honey.
Pleasure to sip it slowly and straight.
+ spicy taste, color, flavor, nice bottle
- feel more alcohol as not XO
a great rum had this a while back so struggling to recall the subtle notes and flavours. A great rum easy to drink very enjoyable drink
Réussi, riche, doux et subtil, le prix m'empêche de le noter mieux, à ce prix là il y a mieux à savourer.
I debated whether to give this an 8 or a 9, but ended up giving it an 8 because I couldn't rate it higher than some of the rums I rated a 9 (Diplomatico Ambassador, Appleton Estate 21). It's probably just behind those guys.
Absolute premium rum. Glad I got myself a few bottles of this as well as it is a seriously good product. Got a few of these on special for a tick over $150 a bottle.
Drank the rum straight up to begin with and was very impressed. It is a solera system rum, so not a true 'aged' rum as its a blend of many different aged rums, some young, some really old.
It's probably wasted mixing with coke. Plenty of other rums out there to mix, but this one is good neat.
If the zacapa 15 years and the 23 years are the diet cokes of rum (and they are imo) this i the original.
The rum is very easy to drink and has a very nice smoothness to it.
The thing wrong with this rum is that it is just too safe. Yes, the taste is allright but it is just disappointing considering the price and the fact that this is the best ron zacapa can do.
There are many better and cheaper alternatives.
