Zacapa XO Rum

The Pinnacle of Guatemalan Elegance.
At the crossroads of time and mastery, high in the mist-shrouded Guatemalan mountains, Ron Zacapa XO stands as the ultimate expression of art in rum-making. Born from virgin sugar cane honey and matured in the cool, oxygen-thin air of the “House Above the Clouds”, it is the result of patience, precision, and passion — a rum designed for those who seek true sophistication in every sip.

Crafted using the Solera ageing system, Zacapa XO blends rums aged between six and twenty-five years, resting in a sequence of casks that once held American whiskey, sherry, and fine Pedro Ximénez wine, before a final finishing stage in French oak cognac barrels. This final touch imparts an extraordinary richness, lending Zacapa XO its velvety depth and signature warmth.

The aroma rises gently — an elegant dance of toffee, orange peel, dried fruit, and spiced oak. On the palate, waves of dark chocolate, dried figs, roasted coffee, and soft caramel unfold slowly, creating a luxurious texture that lingers endlessly. The finish is long, rich, and contemplative — the kind of moment you savour rather than simply taste.

For those in Ireland who appreciate fine craftsmanship and the poetry of time, Zacapa XO isn’t just a rum; it’s a statement of elegance, a celebration of heritage that transcends borders.
