Botran Rum is a single estate rum which uses two varieties of sugarcane which are harvested on the Pacific south coast of Guatemala. The first press of sugarcane (aka virgin sugar cane honey) is used for distillation rather than traditional molasses. Botran uses “dynamic aging” which is a variation of the solera process. For the No. 15, rums aged 5-15 years are blended that have matured in American whiskey, sherry, and port casks. Notably, Botran has a Protected Denomination of Origin (PDO) and is certified as a Ron de Guatemala. Botran was relaunched in the US in August 2022 with updated packaging. ($32.99/700ml).

Un bon rhum, nez assez classique, puissant en bouche avec un boisé très marqué et de légères notes de vanille. 1ère dégustation peu concluante, mais se révèle très intéressant en comparaison d'autres rhums plus légers.
N: Camel and brown sugar P: oak, carmel, brown sugar F: spicy burn followed by oak Decent. This is my first rum that doesn't use molases so I dont have a comparison.
Pale copper colour, honey, brown sugar, oak, cedar, some spiciness at the end, short finish
Very nice, probably not the best but it has a great price/taste ratio.
Un boisé qui se rapproche du whisky, très bon!
Léger, simple, note de caramel et de café.
