Simple, smooth, buttery, but not a lot of depth or complexity. Received as a gift.
About this bottle
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. 12, rums aged 5-12 years are blended that have matured in American whiskey and sherry 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. ($24.99/700ml).

bon rhum, pas très doux contrairement à ce que son odeur pourrait laisser penser
Nice finish on the rum, but the alcoholic afterburn is too much.
Woody, grappes, caramely
