Ron Zacapa delivers an additional step up in taste with this XO edition, through the additional maturation in ex-Cognac casks. This delivers plenty of delicious flavour but moves the rum away from typicity – you could be forgiven for thinking this was a Cognac. Notes of coffee, oak, grape, dessert wine (nodding towards PX) and Cola Cubes are backed by liquorice root on the finish. A rum for those looking to drink brandy.
