Ron Zacapa - XO
Ron Zacapa - XO
Ron Zacapa XO is a premium rum that is aged for up to 25 years in the highlands of Guatemala. This rum is made from the first pressing of sugar cane juice and is distilled using a unique process that involves blending rums of different ages and then aging them in a combination of American whiskey, sherry, and Pedro Ximenez wine barrels.
The result is a rich and complex rum that has a deep amber color and a smooth, velvety texture. On the nose, you'll detect notes of vanilla, caramel, and dark chocolate, while on the palate, you'll experience a range of flavors including dried fruit, toasted oak, and a hint of smoke.
Ron Zacapa XO is produced by the Zacapa distillery, which was founded in 1976 in the town of Zacapa, Guatemala. The distillery is located in the highlands of Guatemala, where the climate is cooler and the air is thinner, which allows for a slower aging process and a more refined flavor profile.
This premium rum is best enjoyed neat or on the rocks, and pairs well with a range of desserts including chocolate cake, crème brûlée, and tiramisu. It's also a great choice for sipping after dinner or for special occasions.
