Description
The Ron Zacapa Centenario XO Solera Gran Reserva Especial is the masterpiece of the award-winning Ron Zacapa distillery from Guatemala. This exceptional rum is distilled from the finest sugar cane honey and matured in the Guatemalan highlands at an altitude of over 2,300 meters - an environment that ensures optimum climatic conditions during the maturation process. The elaborate solera method, in which different vintages are blended in a continuous ageing process, makes this rum one of the finest and most complex bottlings in the world.
The Zacapa XO matures in a unique combination of ex-Bourbon, Sherry, Pedro Ximénez and French Cognac casks, with the final refinement taking place in ex-French Cognac casks. The result is a luxurious, multi-layered rum with a perfect balance of sweetness, spice and fruitiness. The elegant gift box underlines its exclusivity and makes it the perfect gift for collectors and lovers of high-quality rums.

Tasting notes:
Color: Deep mahogany with copper reflections.
Nose: Opulent aromas of dried fruit, dark chocolate, vanilla and caramel, accompanied by fine oak notes and a hint of orange and spice.
Taste: Soft, velvety and intense with a harmonious combination of candied fruit, honey, roasted almonds, cocoa and fine spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg. The cognac barrels give it an elegant depth and fine tannins.
Finish: Long-lasting, warm and elegant with sweet and spicy nuances, dark chocolate and a fine woody note.
The Ron Zacapa Centenario XO is a delight for connoisseurs who want to experience an exquisite rum in its purest form. It unfolds its full aroma best neat, slightly chilled or on ice. It is also an outstanding choice as a luxurious accompaniment to dark chocolate, mature cheese or a fine cigar. A truly royal rum that takes the fine art of ageing and blending to a new level.
