The Zacapa XO Centenario Solera Gran Reserva Especial is a superior quality rum from the Super-Premium sector, representing the pinnacle of fine rum production. The XO in the name stands for Extra Old, indicating the extended aging process in a variety of oak barrels. This dark rum is produced using the Solera method, which involves blending both younger and over 20-year-old distillates.
Hailing from Guatemala, the Zacapa XO Centenario Solera Rum is a luxurious and refined spirit, with rums aged between 6 and 25 years at its core. The aging process takes place in the highlands of Guatemala, at an altitude of 2,300 meters, allowing for a lengthy aging period without excessive evaporation.
The Zacapa XO Centenario Solera Rum offers a rich, multilayered aroma, dominated by butterscotch, followed by notes of nuts, orange, and wood. The taste is sweet and indulgent, with caramel and chocolate flavors prominent. This exceptional rum is the result of a unique blend of rums aged between 6 and 25 years in former bourbon, sherry, Pedro Ximenez wine, and cognac barrels. The final aging process occurs in French oak barrels that previously contained cognac.
Produced by Ron Zacapa, this rum has received numerous accolades, including Gold in the Super-Premium category at the International Rum Festival and the Platinum award in the Super-Premium category in 2002. This limited-release, handcrafted rum is a true connoisseur's delight, offering a perfectly balanced combination of sweetness, spice, and fruit. It is the ultimate expression of the Master Blender's art, presented in a stylish flat decanter and a beautiful gift box.
