Ron Zacapa XO Review
Ride-or-die Cognac drinkers, this spirit seems custom created for you. Ron Zacapa's blend of 10 to 25-year-old rums, aged in French oak casks that formerly held Cognac, recalls the very soul of aged French brandy. The bottle's labeling and design are also reminiscent of Cognac; in this case, the book can be accurately judged by the cover.
