Rum Guatemala XO 20th Anniversary Rum Nation
Rum Nation proudly celebrates its 20th anniversary with the Guatemala XO, a meticulously distilled and matured masterpiece. This exquisite rum, distilled in column stills from the rich sugarcane molasses of Guatemala, pays homage to two decades of passion and discovery.
Following an initial aging of at least 4 years in ex-bourbon white oak barrels, this rum undergoes a second maturation phase of 16 months in Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks in Italy. This dual maturation in two distinct climates imparts extraordinary complexity to the Guatemala XO.
On the nose, the Guatemala XO reveals itself as delicate yet rich, with a honeyed profile that captures the full richness of sugarcane. Notes of ripe dates, vanilla, chocolate, and raisins fill the air, foreshadowing an enveloping sensory experience.
The palate welcomes an exceptionally rich and creamy caress, free from any alcoholic burn. Honeyed sweetness melds with delightful hints of buttery pastry, while a symphony of ripe fruits, including sultanas, dates, and dried plums, unfolds in all its nuance. Whispers of vanilla, cola, toasted nuts, and a refreshing touch of candied orange add layers of complexity.
The finish, sweeter and less aggressive than younger versions, distinctly reveals the wine and raisin influences from the sherry casks. A lingering note of sweet licorice completes the experience, bringing the flavor profile to perfection.
This Guatemala XO, presented in an elegant decanter, is much more than a mere rum; it is a gustatory masterpiece, a tribute to 20 years of dedication and adventure in the world of rum by Rum Nation.
