Ron Zacapa Centenario XO Solera Gran Reserva Especial Rum

"Containing a blend of rums from 6 to 25 years old, with an extra ageing stage in French oak barrels that previously held cognac. Mahogany color with intense red hints of long barrel ageing at the rim and long, slow legs. A very open nose with a wealth of aromas that seem to evolve each time you nose the glass; a great balance of mature toasted oak, burnt caramel, dry-roasted nuts, marzipan and orange peel; a delicate floral note of honeysuckle in the background. A wonderfully complex and satisfying balance of sweetness, fruit, spice, and spirit; long, smooth and sweet with a weight of dark cherry chocolate and flavours of intense dried fruits like sultana, date and prune; sweet oak spices of clove, vanilla and cinnamon, and lighter notes of dried mango and raspberry, with a subtle hint of ginger to finish. A perfectly balanced combination of sweetness, spice, fruit and spirit, a connoisseur's delight and the ultimate expression of the Master Blender's art." —producer
