Let’s talk about Rhum Zacapa XO 70cl - Giftbox

More questions

Zacapa XO Rum is an extraordinary spirit originating from Guatemala, renowned for its excellent quality and internationally recognized. Presented in a prestigious 70cl bottle accompanied by an elegant gift box, this rum is the result of a meticulous aging process that uses the solera system in barrels that previously hosted Scotch whisky, sherry, and wines. The rums that compose the Zacapa XO blend are aged up to 25 years, giving this spirit surprising complexity and depth of aromas.

When tasting Zacapa XO Rum, intense notes of vanilla, dark chocolate, dried fruit, and sweet spices can be perceived, accompanied by a subtle touch of wood, a result of the long aging in casks. Its texture is smooth and velvety, with a persistent and harmonious finish that leaves a pleasant sensation of warmth.

Ideal for sipping slowly as a digestif or on special occasions, Zacapa XO represents an excellent choice for sophisticated rum lovers and for those who wish to discover the excellence of one of the most awarded spirits in the world. A true gem for connoisseurs, to gift or treat oneself, savoring unique moments.

The story
Zacapa was created in 1976 to commemorate the centenary of the city of Zacapa. The brand is part of Guatemala's spirits tradition and has been involved in international commercial agreements (including distribution partnerships with parties linked to Diageo). From raw material production to the bottle, Zacapa reports involvement of multiple communities and facilities across Guatemala (for example Retalhuleu for raw material, Jocotán for the artisanal petate bands, and Mixco for bottling).
Ageing
Solera system (dynamic Solera-inspired system) with high-altitude aging in the 'House Above the Clouds' (approximately 2,300 m a.s.l.), where the cooler, more humid climate affects maturation.
Raw materials
  • sugarcane juice (first press)
