I need to get my hands on that rum. You should get a magnetic white board where you can put a list of the top expensive rums and or the top scoring rums. Love you adding in the bloopers at the end
I'm guatemalan, I usually drink rum and coke with botran 15 or botran 18 (same house as zacapa), like those a little better for mixing, and a lot cheaper. For sipping, hard to beat the XO.
FINALLY acquired a bottle and OMG! My wife LOVED it until I told her the price... I was smooth and blamed it on you two... LOL.. Cheers from The Rocket City!
Thanks guys,love your videos! Just a question, how much sugar in this XO, for like diabetics? I don't know guys but this one might have lots of additives.
Thanks so much! This one is made with virgin sugar cane honey so it is a bit sweeter. Zacapa is well known for having more sugar in them so beware of that.
That is totally understandable! I think any Ron zacapa product blends well because they make all their rum so adaptable... that being said I would be lying if I said I didn't drink it on the rocks frequently 😎 Enjoy that rum! Cheers🥃
I used to get this all the time when I had money 💰 but now it went up in price and I think 🤔 I have to get a few before like everything else goes up lol 😂
Pineapple juice is a great mixer! We do these reviews to help bring more interest to the rum world. Since rum and coke is the most common rum drink in the world we try it both on its own and mixed with diet pop. We understand their are many ways to enjoy rum other than these 2 options, including just drinking it on its own, but we hopefully are building enough interest for people to go out and try it and grow the rum community. In doing so we hope to bring more attention to underated brands and craft distillers so they can continue to grow and keep making delicious rums!😎 Thanks for the feedback😎 Cheers🥃
I used to drink rum with coke all the time but now appreciate it neat. But boy’s, you can’t drink XO with the diet drinks? That’s like putting ketchup on a ribeye steak. 🤮 The rum is made from sugar cane, Diet Coke ain’t going to help with the weight loss……..lol
Please no, don’t mix it with coke, no, please don’t…don’t, nooooooooo. A premium rum should be drunk with nothing but the rum it’s self, your just destroying flavour and character and is an affront to the long long time it took to gain those flavours from the many casks and care it took to mature and take on influence from said casks. If you have to mix coke with a premium rum to enhance the flavours or experience then that’s just screaming I’m not experienced or you’ve got more money than sense. I cringed man, It’s sacrilege. Same can be said about Whisky to. Please no more guys your making my eyes water ! Lol I’m gonna get the violins out just now and mourn the passing of a pan excellent rum. ! 🥺
We do these reviews to help bring more interest to the rum world. Since rum and coke is the most common rum drink in the world we try it both on its own and mixed with diet pop. We disagree that it makes you look inexperienced or have no sense. Rum is fun and you should enjoybit the way you like it. Saying you can't mix it is like saying you shouldnt make blueberry pie because it ruins the natural flavors of the blueberry with all the added ingredients.

@@JustDrinkingOfficial we will have to agree to disagree. There are rums that you mix with coke and there are rums that you don’t mix with coke, that was one of them my friend. Please don’t use coke a drop of water maybe but It takes upward of 21 years+ to make a super premium rum and if you put a 50 cent can of coke in a $100.00+ bottle of rum to enhance it what’s that shouting out to everyone. I understand the reason why your doing it and why I respect your opinion I don’t necessarily agree with its merits. At the end of the day it’s your rum to do as you please but if you putting on social media then you will get differing options, 😉 cheers mate.
I tried Zacapa XO for the first time over the holidays. Agree totally with your scores - exceptional rum.
Awesome! Glad you like it and I think this rum is a fantastic add to any shelf! Cheers Michael!
Great review, my favorite rum in the world…especially sipping it in beautiful Guatemala 👍🏽

Just got this one. Very nice. Agree! Love it!
Great review guys! The "bloopers" at the end were hilarious! LOL
Thanks so much! We are having fun adding those🤣 glad you enjoy them!

That is a good idea! We will definitely look at making something like that! Thanks for the idea!!!

Is it sweet n smoother then Ron Zacapa 23?
Im thinking about purchasing this rum
We really like it and it was our #2 rum of the year last year😎
Thanks guys,love your videos! Just a question, how much sugar in this XO, for like diabetics? I don't know guys but this one might have lots of additives.
Thanks so much! This one is made with virgin sugar cane honey so it is a bit sweeter. Zacapa is well known for having more sugar in them so beware of that.
I just cant imagine making a mixed drink with this. Even a complicated one.
This has to be drank neat IMO. And I'm saying this while im drinking it.
That is totally understandable! I think any Ron zacapa product blends well because they make all their rum so adaptable... that being said I would be lying if I said I didn't drink it on the rocks frequently 😎 Enjoy that rum! Cheers🥃
Ha ha "That's what she said" Michael Scott would be proud of that.
Just waiting for the Michael Scott paper company to sponsor us🤣
Ah yes, the Owen Wilson “WOW”, reserved for only the finest of Rums…
Thats how you know it is premium 🤣
I used to get this all the time when I had money 💰 but now it went up in price and I think 🤔 I have to get a few before like everything else goes up lol 😂
It does get spendy but so delicious!
next>>>>>> Zacapa Royal. 😉😉😉
We need to try that one yet for sure!
Holy Moly! $100 bucks… its cause of the box, right?… I mean, you got at least $30 bucks of box right there 😂
Bwhahaha yes that has to be it🤣🤣🤣
If you want to mix, you can try mixing it with Pineapple juice then give your comments!!!

lol we prefer diet honestly because the pop flavor isn't quite as overpowering... Plus it would just feel weird to change now🤣🤣 #fitlife
