The Ron Zacapa Centenario XO Gran Reserva Especial is up to 25 years old and is made from Virgin Cane Honey and matured using the Solera process. The specially selected barrels are stored for up to 25 long years in Quetzaltenango, which lies at 2300m above sea level. The constant cool climate as well as the control of the noise level, humidity, light conditions and temperature allow a gentle maturation of this special rum. The various casks in which whisky, sherry and wines were previously stored give this rum its very special note. Lorena Vasquez, the master blenders of Ron Zacapa and Ron Botran, specially selects the casks to give the rum its fine tastes and scents. Not only the contents, but also the bottle design is convincing. The bottle is made of fine crystal glass.
