Zacapa XO 40% Vol. 0,7l in Giftbox

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.

We hand select rums aged between 10 and 25 years in the “Sistema Solera.” 

Older and younger rums are then blended as they age in a sequence of barrels that previously stored robust American whiskeys, delicate Sherries, fine Pedro Ximénez wines and finished in French oak casks which previously aged Cognac.

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.
