The final blend gets one more maturation in \u003cstrong\u003eAmerican white oak barrels charred with Guatemalan cacao and Cobán chili peels\u003c\/strong\u003e, then it’s bottled at \u003cstrong\u003e40% ABV (80 proof)\u003c\/strong\u003e, in a commemorative canister with the brand’s handwoven petate band in anniversary colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe idea comes from the ancient ceremonial drinks of what is now Guatemala, where cacao and chili were served at celebrations. The maker describes a nose of vanilla and caramelized fruit and a palate of wood, toffee, and aromatic spices, with roasted cacao and a delicate Cobán chili warmth that isn’t heat. Reviewers add sticky toffee pudding and baking spices. Sip it \u003cstrong\u003eneat or over a large cube\u003c\/strong\u003e, or try the maker’s \u003cstrong\u003eGuateMai Tai\u003c\/strong\u003e: the rum with orange liqueur, orgeat, fresh lime juice, and aromatic bitters. It’s a gift for a Zacapa fan, a collector’s bottle with a canister to display, and a good one for people who like dessert-leaning rums with a little spice at the end. Once the anniversary run is gone, it’s gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"5\"\u003eAbout the Bottle\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuatemalan rum, a blend of rums aged 8 to 24 years (solera system)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished in American white oak barrels charred with cacao and Cobán chili peels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e40% ABV (80 proof); limited edition; commemorative canister\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRon Zacapa, Guatemala; 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"4\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eFrom Zacapa’s own notes.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vanilla and caramelized fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wood, toffee, and aromatic spices, with cacao and Cobán chili.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warming, with delicate spice rather than heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"4\"\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe cacao and toffee pair well with dark chocolate, churros, and flan.
