RON ABUELO AÑEJO 7 & ILLY GUATEMALA
Sometimes, the best pairings happen by surprise — and this one’s no exception.
Ron Abuelo Añejo 7, with its warm vanilla, dark chocolate, and soft oak notes, finds a natural companion in illy Espresso Guatemala, a coffee celebrated for its rich caramel sweetness and gentle fruit brightness.
illy’s Guatemala single origin espresso is known for its rich aroma, pronounced sweetness, and notes of chocolate, caramel, and honey, often balanced by subtle fruity acidity (like citrus or red berries).
Enjoyed side by side — or even with a sip of rum following each espresso taste -this pairing reveals layers of sweetness, spice, and subtle fruit that neither could show alone.
A perfect meeting of Panamanian heat and Guatemalan altitude — refined, unexpected, and quietly powerful.
Together, they create a dialogue between tropical depth and highland elegance:
- The vanilla and peach of Abuelo 7 echo the floral and honeyed tones of the espresso.
- The dark chocolate and oak meet perfectly with Guatemala’s cocoa and roasted nut finish.
- The rum’s silky texture softens the espresso’s intense crema, creating a smooth, balanced sip that lingers with warmth and complexity.
