Zacapa - Rhum - Zacapa XO

Zacapa XO Rum is a blend of rums aged by Solera in old Cognac barrels, which give it its roundness and its delicious notes of almond, walnut, vanilla, spices and candied fruits (orange peel), black cherry, cocoa, and dried fruits. Freshness, harmony, and balance are at their peak in this soft and unctuous rum, which is both very tasty and persistent and has a structured finish with hints of spice, clove and cinnamon.

Elaboration:

Made from a blend of rums aged through the 'Sistema Solera' in old Cognac casks as well as an additional 2 years of aging in French oak casks that contained Cognac.

Color:

Dark mahogany color.

Nose:

Warm, complex and balanced with hints of dried fruits, cocoa, nuts and vanilla.

Palate:

This rum is tasty, round, and lengthy on the palate with gourmet flavors of dark cherry, chocolate, prune, date, almond, vanilla, and sweet spices with a lingering, silky finish.

Food and wine pairing:

Pure, on its own, on ice or in cocktails.

It is one of the most famous rums of Guatemala! Using only concentrated cane juice, grown 350 meters above sea level, Zacapa makes unique rums, watched over for 30 years by cellar master Lorena Vasquez. The aging and maturation process - with no less than 180,000 barrels - is very complex here, mixing static aging, classic maturation and solera; an art mastered since the foundation in 1976 and which makes all the complexity of Zacapa.

It is not surprising that this emblematic House is one of the most prized in the world!
