Ron Zacapa Centenario XO

Ron Zacapa XO takes the house's solera system further, blending older rums and finishing the liquid in French oak casks that previously aged cognac for extra depth and complexity.

The nose balances toasted oak, burnt caramel and roasted nuts with marzipan and orange peel, while the palate is long, smooth and sweet with dark cherry, chocolate, date and prune alongside warm spices of clove, vanilla and cinnamon, finishing with dried mango, raspberry and ginger.
