In the highlands of Quetzaltenango, 7,544 feet above sea level, lies The House Above the Clouds--one of the highest ageing facilities in the world--where Zacapa Rum slowly develops its complex flavor and character over time. The cool temperature slows the ageing process, while the thinner air and lower atmospheric pressure help intensify the infusion of flavors from the barrels. The complex, finely balanced ageing process involves blending rums of various ages in casks that once held robust American whiskey, delicate sherry, and fine Pedro Ximenez wines, allowing each one to share its aromas and flavors with the maturing liquid. The result is a remarkable rum of exceptional quality, deep aroma, full color, and rich palate. Zacapa XO is a sipping spirit best served neat, with flavors that include both sweetness and spice alongside dark cherry, chocolate, and dried fruits. It's a favorite among gourmet chefs, who delight in pairing it with a wide variety of dishes, particularly with desserts.

The clear-colored drink is smooth in character with highlights of vanilla, honey, and toasted oak, followed by a clean, warm finish. It's best enjoyed neat or over ice.
