About this deal

Zacapa XO is a unique balance of complex aromas and flavors resulting from the exclusive blend of reserve rums. I have found that mixing my more premium rums with crushed ice and an equal measure of cola can produce some great results. And to ensure the correct balance is achieved, the whole process is minutely controlled by our experts. Starting with a depth of dried fruit and apricot, building to savory oak, nutmeg, leather and tobacco with notes of coffee and vanilla, balanced with a spicy touch of cinnamon and ginger.

If you do require precise ingredient information you should consult the manufacturer, whose contact details will appear on the packaging or label. Firstly, that the sugar cane used to make Ron Zacapa rum is actually harvested by hand, which leads to a smarter yield at greater discretion of the harvester (as opposed to mechanized efficiency that also can’t selectively recognize perfect ripeness). One of the confusing aspects surrounding the various Ron Zacapa rums which have been available has been the ageing statements.

Upon a further nosing I am also getting a feeling for the aged rums in the blend with a little oak and cocoa coming through.

Our Sistema Solera involves blending rums of various ages in casks that once held robust American whiskey, delicate sherry and fine Pedro Ximenez wines.As the picture shows even the Zacapa glass is slightly different and geared very much to sipping the rum and swirling it around in the glass a bit like they do with fine cognac’s in the movies.

Ron Zacapa Centenario Sistema Solera 23 Rum Review Ron Zacapa Centenario Sistema Solera 23 Rum Review

We use a unique Sistema Solera, based on a Spanish tradition developed over 500 years ago to age sherry. A fantastic gift pack that should fill any rum fan with glee – this set includes a bottle of Ron Zacapa's Centenario Sistema Solera 23 rum, accompanied by a pair of charming branded glasses, so maybe they'll even let you try some. Got to say, I’m a little bit stumped why so many people eulogise over Zacapa XO, as in my humble opinion it doesn’t seem to be that much different nor better than the Sistema 23.Raisins, sultana’s and prunes come through to add to the aged oaky flavours giving a very well-balanced and smooth rum and coke. Rum as young as six years old ends up combined with much, much older rums, the goal being a flavor profile that consistently blends age and barrel expression.

In January 2012, Zacapa was named one of the “World's Top 100 Most Valuable Luxury Brands” by the World Luxury Association. This has also been further confused by different territories enjoying different expression of their rums.Made from sugar cane honey under the watchful eye of Lorena Vasquez, Zacapa is great as a sipper or cocktail ingredient. It’s bouquet is very flowery and fruit laden and it’s finish is a good 5 minuets or so but over all it’s a dangerous Rum because it’s very easy to get lost in the complexity and over do it and get really drunk. Whilst I have tried it a variety of ways ,it is as a sipper with which I will begin my review of the contents of bottle. A 1 litre bottling of Ron Zacapa's Edición Negra, which was originally released for the Travel Retail market.
