Zacapa Zacapa XO Coffret Floral 2 verres (70cl)

The wine

The panels of this elegant gift set open to reveal a bottle of Zacapa XO rum as well as two tasting glasses and an information booklet. Decorated in a beautiful floral pattern, it really is the perfect case for this impressive Guatemalan rum. Distilled from first-press cane sugar juice instead of the syrup that’s usually used, Zacapa rum also stands out because of its long ageing process carried out according to the solera method. This approach blends rums of different ages and profiles in a succession of barrels. It is an ageing method usually used to make sherry. Produced by Lorena Vasquez, one of the rare female master blenders in the rum world, this wonderful specimen finishes maturing in old cognac barrels.
The mahogany rum shimmers slightly garnet in the light and reveals an intense nose with a great complexity. Dried fruits, cacao, and toasted aromas rise from the glass and then make way for a round, generous palate with flavours of almonds and vanilla. A wonderful present for rum lovers!
