Ron Zacapa XO Rum
Premium Aged Rum | 40% ABV (80 Proof) | Solera Aged | Guatemala | 750mL
Process & Profile
Ron Zacapa XO Rum is a luxury Guatemalan rum crafted using a solera aging system, where rums aged between 6 and 25+ years are blended and aged further in a succession of barrels that previously held bourbon, sherry, and fine wines. This method creates remarkable complexity and nuance as younger and older rums harmonize through gradual integration. The XO expression is finished in French oak casks that previously held exquisite wines and spirits, adding depth, richness, and elegant spice to the core solera profile. The result is a refined and layered premium rum celebrated for its balance and sophistication.
