Zacapa XO, the brand’s most premium expression, is a blend of rums between 10 and 25 years old, which is barrel-aged to achieve its complex flavors and aromas. Every drop of Zacapa XO is aged in hand-selected casks, including robust American White Oak, delicate sherry, and Pedro Ximenez barrels for the ultimate depth of flavor. To distinguish the spirit from Zacapa No. 23, Zacapa XO has a final aging step in French Oak Casks for two years, giving the final liquid notes of raw chocolate, caramel, and roasted coffee. It is best enjoyed neat or on the rocks in order to let the tasting notes and aging profile to truly shine. Beautifully bottled and ready to stand alone as an elevated present, Zacapa XO – like Baccarat – has a place in the homes of luxury lovers, collectors, and all the soulful consumers in pursuit of a product that doubles as a work of art.
