Zacapa XO Rum

Ron Zacapa

In the highlands of Quetzaltenango, 2300 meters above sea level, the house is located above the clouds. This stunning location, one of the highest aging centers in the world, is where this rum slowly gains its flavor and character over several years.

Preparation and aging

Ron Zacapa XO contains a blend of rums aged from 6 to 25 years, and ultimately rests in French oak barrels that have contained cognac. It has a balance and a perfect combination of sweetness, spices, and fruits.

A connoisseur's delight. The supreme work of expression of the art of the master rum maker. One of the secrets to the great flavor of this rum is its aging in Guatemala at more than 2,000 meters of altitude. One of its peculiarities when it comes to its production is that only the juice obtained from the first pressing of the sugar cane is used, which makes it an even more premium product.
