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.
