Ron Zacapa Centenario is a premium rum produced in Guatemala by Rum Creation and Products, a subsidiary of Industrias Licoreras de Guatemala, and distributed and marketed by Diageo. Zacapa Centenario was created in 1976 to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of the foundation of Zacapa, a town in eastern Guatemala.
It was the result of the blending, stabilization and maturing processes of long-aged rums by doctor and chemist named Alejandro Burgaleta. Ron Zacapa is distinctive in that it is aged in a facility at an altitude with natural coolness which avoids evaporation resulting in an unusually smooth product.

Zacapa XO is a unique balance of complex aromas and flavors, resulting from an exclusive blend of aged rums. Using the "Sistema Solera" method, selected rums aged between 6 and 25 years are blended together. The older and younger rums are then aged in a series of barrels that previously held American whiskey, delicate sherry, fine Pedro Ximénez wines, and finally, in French oak barrels that previously aged cognac.
Zacapa XO is best enjoyed neat or on the rocks and pairs beautifully with dark chocolate and desserts.

TasteAtlas food rankings are based on the ratings of the TasteAtlas audience, with a series of mechanisms that recognize real users and that ignore bot, nationalist or local patriotic ratings, and give additional value to the ratings of users that the system recognizes as knowledgeable. TasteAtlas Rankings should not be seen as the final global conclusion about food. Their purpose is to promote excellent local foods, instill pride in traditional dishes, and arouse curiosity about dishes you haven’t tried.
