The house's Sistema Solera moves the rum through casks that previously held American whiskeys, sherry wines, and Pedro Ximénez wines, building the deep, rounded character Zacapa is known for. For the 50th Anniversary Edition, Master Blender Lorena Vásquez drew on ancient Guatemalan ceremonial traditions in which cacao and chili were combined in celebratory drinks: the finished blend rests in barrels charred with cacao skins and Cobán chili peels, a first for the house. Bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) and presented in a commemorative canister with the signature petate band, handwoven from palm leaf by Guatemalan artisans and redesigned in vibrant anniversary colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vanilla and caramelized fruit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wood and toffee meet aromatic spice, layered with roasted cacao and a delicate warmth from the Cobán chili, present as glow rather than heat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and smooth, with toasted notes and gentle warm spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProducer: Ron Zacapa (Master Blender Lorena Vásquez), Guatemala\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Aged Rum (50th Anniversary Edition, North America Exclusive)\u003cbr\u003eBlend: Rums aged 8 to 24 years, Sistema Solera\u003cbr\u003eFinish: American white oak charred with Guatemalan cacao and Cobán chili peels\u003cbr\u003eABV: 40% (80 proof)\u003cbr\u003ePresentation: Commemorative canister with handwoven petate band\u003cbr\u003eSize: 750mL\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rum\"\u003eRum collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the 50th Anniversary Edition different from Zacapa 23?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eZacapa 23 is the core solera blend; the 50th Anniversary Edition starts from rums aged 8 to 24 years and adds a finish Zacapa has never used before — American oak barrels charred with Guatemalan cacao and Cobán chili peels — giving distinct roasted cacao and warm spice notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the rum spicy?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo — the Cobán chili contributes a delicate, warming spice rather than chili heat; think roasted cacao, toffee, and a gentle glow on the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the petate band on the bottle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is handwoven from palm leaf by Guatemalan artisans, a Zacapa signature since the original 1976 bottling, reimagined here in a colorful commemorative design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How is the 50th Anniversary Edition different from Zacapa 23?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Zacapa 23 is the core solera blend; the 50th Anniversary Edition starts from rums aged 8 to 24 years and adds a finish Zacapa has never used before, American oak barrels charred with Guatemalan cacao and Cobán chili peels, giving distinct roasted cacao and warm spice notes.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is the rum spicy?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"No, the Cobán chili contributes a delicate, warming spice rather than chili heat; think roasted cacao, toffee, and a gentle glow on the finish.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the petate band on the bottle?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"It is handwoven from palm leaf by Guatemalan artisans, a Zacapa signature since the original 1976 bottling, reimagined here in a colorful commemorative design.\"}}]}\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"Ron Zacapa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68181173862768,"sku":"DM17767L","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0276\/1621\/5176\/files\/ron-zacapa-50th-anniversary.jpg?v=1794242207"}],"url":"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/ron-zacapa.oembed","provider":"Wooden Cork","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
