Zacapa Rum – The Rum that Matures Above the Clouds

Virgin sugarcane harvesting

Unlike most rums that use molasses, Zacapa rum is produced using the first pressing of virgin sugar cane. This makes the rum sweeter and softer, and it is at this point that the distinctive characteristics and flavor profile of Zacapa begin to develop.

Nowhere is this more appropriate than in southern Guatemala, thanks to its mineral-rich volcanic soil and the many rivers that nourish the area. The difference in raw materials can be seen in the depth of Zacapa’s primary aromas and flavors.

What does XO mean?

Rum aged 10 to 25 years are hand-selected in the “Solera System. They hand-select rums between the ages of 10 and 25 in the “Solera System.” Older and younger rums are then blended as they age in a sequence of barrels that previously contained robust American whiskies, delicate sherries, fine Pedro Ximénez wines, and finished in French oak barrels that had previously aged Cognac.

ZACAPA XO

Zacapa XO is a unique balance of complex aromas and flavors resulting from the unique blend of reserve rums. Zacapa XO is best enjoyed neat or on the rocks and pairs beautifully with dark chocolate and desserts.
