Ron Zacapa 50th Anniversary Edition Rum 750mL
Ron Zacapa 50th Anniversary Edition Rum
Guatemalan Rum | 40% ABV | 80 Proof | 750mL | Limited Anniversary Edition | Commemorative Canister
Process & Profile
Created by Master Blender Lorena Vásquez, Zacapa 50th Anniversary Edition marks the brand’s 1976 founding. Its blend includes rums aged 8–24 years, made from virgin sugarcane syrup and matured through Zacapa’s Solera System in Guatemala.
The blend receives additional maturation in American white oak barrels specially charred with cacao and Cobán chili peels, followed by a rest in oak vats. This finishing method gives the rum its distinctive toasted, aromatic character. A colorful handwoven petate band and commemorative canister complete the presentation.

How to Enjoy
Taste a small pour neat before adding ice. A broad tasting glass gives room for the aroma, while one large cube cools the pour gradually. Try it alongside dark chocolate or roasted nuts, using a small bite between sips rather than mixing the food into the glass.
For a cocktail, combine with fresh lime, orange liqueur and orgeat in a Mai Tai-style drink. Shake with ice and taste before adding extra sweetener; a few dashes of aromatic bitters can provide a drier finishing accent.
