Ron Zacapa Rum Collection
The Ron Zacapa Collection is a four-bottle set of premium aged rum from Guatemala. It includes Zacapa No. 23, Zacapa Edición Negra, the limited Zacapa 50th Anniversary Edition and Zacapa XO. It suits rum collectors, people who want to taste the range side by side, and anyone shopping for a luxury gift.
What's in the set
- Ron Zacapa Centenario Sistema Solera 23 (750ml, 40% ABV): The brand's best-known rum. It's a solera blend aged at high altitude in Guatemala, with rich notes of caramel, vanilla, cacao, butterscotch and dried tropical fruit. Smooth enough to sip neat.
- Ron Zacapa Edición Negra (750ml, 43% ABV): A darker, bolder solera blend aged in double-charred oak barrels. It has deeper smoky oak, dark chocolate and toasted spice.
- Ron Zacapa 50th Anniversary Edition (750ml), limited edition: Made in 2026 for Zacapa's 50th anniversary by Master Blender Lorena Vásquez. It blends rums aged 8 to 24 years, then finishes them in barrels charred with Guatemalan cacao and Cobán chili peels. Expect vanilla, caramelized fruit, toffee, baking spice, roasted cacao and a gentle chili warmth.
- Ron Zacapa XO Solera Gran Reserva Especial (750ml, 40% ABV): Zacapa's top expression. It blends rums aged 6 to 25 years and finishes them in French oak casks that used to hold cognac. It's layered, with dried fruit, chocolate, vanilla and oak, and comes in a gift decanter with a gold collar.

Frequently asked questions
Which Zacapa rum is the best?
Zacapa XO is the most premium and complex of the four. Zacapa 23 is the classic everyday sipper. Edición Negra is the boldest and smokiest. The 50th Anniversary Edition is the rarest because it's a limited release.
Is the 50th Anniversary Edition limited?
Yes. It's a limited release celebrating Zacapa's founding in 1976, and only a few markets carry it.
How should I drink Zacapa rum?
It's made for sipping. Serve it neat or over one large ice cube. Zacapa 23 also works well in premium cocktails such as an Old Fashioned or a Mai Tai.
Is this a good gift?
Yes. The set takes someone through Zacapa's whole range, from the classic No. 23 to the luxury XO decanter. It works well for birthdays, holidays, retirements and anyone who collects rum.
