Premium Extra Aged Rum, 40% ABV, Guatemala
Zacapa XO (Extra Old) is an ultra-premium Guatemalan rum celebrated for its remarkable smoothness and depth, achieved through a unique high-altitude aging process known as the "House Above the Clouds". It is crafted from the first press of virgin sugar cane honey rather than molasses, resulting in a naturally sweeter and more elegant profile.
Aged 10 to 25 Years: It is a complex blend of reserve rums aged between 10 and 25 years.
Cask Selection: It rests in casks that previously held American whiskey, delicate Sherries (including Pedro Ximénez), and is finished in French oak barrels that once aged Cognac.
Tasting notes
Nose: Rich and aromatic with notes of toasted oak, burnt caramel, roasted nuts, marzipan, and orange peel.
Palate: A velvety, full-bodied experience featuring layers of dark chocolate, dried fruits (dates and prunes), vanilla, and sweet spices like cinnamon and clove.
Finish: Long and polished with a lingering sweetness of molasses, ginger, and a subtle hint of smoke.
