Ron Zacapa Aged Rum Centenario 50th Anniversary Limited Edition

Ron Zacapa Centenario 50th Anniversary Edition is a limited-edition Guatemalan aged rum released in October 2026 to mark 50 years since the first Zacapa Centenario was bottled in 1976. It is the brand's first limited-edition release for North America outside its core range.

Master Blender Lorena Vásquez, who has guided Zacapa for more than four decades, built the blend from rums aged between 8 and 24 years through the Sistema Solera, moving through ex-American whiskey, sherry and Pedro Ximénez casks and re-charred American oak. For this edition the blend then took an additional maturation in American white oak barrels charred with cacao and Cobán chili peels, followed by several months of resting in oak vats. As with every Zacapa, the rum starts from virgin sugar-cane honey (first-press cane syrup), is distilled on Guatemala's Pacific coast and ages at about 2,300 metres in the highlands of Quetzaltenango.

The bottle keeps the Zacapa silhouette and hand-woven petate band, here in a multicolour weave, with an illustrated commemorative label reading "50th Anniversary Edition, Limited Edition, with notes of cacao and chili". Bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof), 750 ml.

Producer tasting notes: vanilla and caramelized fruit on the nose; wood, toffee and aromatic spice on the palate with the cacao and Cobán chili coming through; a long finish of toasted notes and warm spice. The brand's signature serve for the edition is the GuateMai Tai.
