"Zacapa Centenario XO is a Central American rum that results from a solera aging method.
  
This process is equivalent to a blend of several rums that have spent between 6 and 25 years in barrels that previously contained bourbon, sherry, or Pedro Ximénez wine.
  
The whole then benefited from additional aging in French oak barrels that once contained cognac.
  
On the nose, a powerful impression of butterscotch clearly dominates. Aromas of nuts and orange come next. It is the wood that completes this profile. The whole is gourmet and we imagine it to be sweet. It also takes on passing accents of English candy at times.
  
On the palate, the attack confirms this impression of sweetness (without being syrupy) and delicacy. The caramel is still present but is associated with chocolate."
