Botran No. 12 Ron de Guatemala
Aged Rum
Botran // Guatemala
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). .

Aged RumRum that is aged, but no specific type or size barrel required. No set time required for length of aging, but will often carry an age statement (which should be taken with a grain of salt). Often thought of as "sipping rums".

Tasting Notes
"The nose is a mix of sweet dried fruits — apricot, prune, date — mixed with orange zest, caramel, and sweet herbs. The tongue is a mx of rummy herbal funk mixed with sharp and sweet cola spices and citrus zest. The medium-sweet finish is somewhat abrupt, but some spice notes linger on the tongue. "
