The Rum Nation Guatemala XO 20th Anniversary Edition 40% Vol. 0.7 l + GB is an exclusive anniversary bottling that was launched to mark Rum Nation's 20th anniversary and impressively reflects the philosophy of the independent bottler. Only the best barrels of a rare and particularly expressive rum from Guatemala were selected for this limited edition Guatemala XO rum. It is produced using sugar cane molasses in a modern column still distillation process, which ensures an elegant and clearly structured style.


Maturation begins for at least four years in ex-bourbon barrels made from American white oak in tropical conditions near the River Hondo, allowing the rum to develop its harmonious basic structure. This is followed by 16 months of maturation in Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks in Italy, where the cooler climate allows for slow and controlled refinement. This two-stage maturation concept gives the premium rum from Guatemala additional depth and complexity. Bottled in an elegant decanter and presented in a high-quality gift box (UK), this limited edition emphasises its status as a special collector's bottling with an international ageing concept.
