BOTRAN - 18 years old - 40% ABV
The prestigious Botran rums are crafted in the heart of Guatemala, in the unique Retalhuleu region located in the South, on rich volcanic soils that promote the exceptional quality of the sugarcane. The Botran distillery is one of the few in the world to benefit from an AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) in the rum universe, a prestigious label shared only with Martinique. This official recognition, obtained in 2013, reflects the deep commitment of the Botran family who have long worked to enhance and defend this exceptional Guatemalan terroir.
Botran rums are produced according to the exclusive traditional Guatemalan method, characterized by the transformation of virgin sugarcane honey obtained by gently heating fresh juice to evaporate the water. Fermentation is carried out using natural yeasts extracted from pineapples, giving the rum a unique aromatic signature. Distillation is performed using modern column stills for optimal quality. Then, the rums are transported to the cellars located over 2,300 meters above sea level in central Guatemala, where the cool climate allows slow and controlled aging. The maturation process is inspired by the ancestral Solera system, enriching the rums in carefully selected barrels: re-toasted ex-American Bourbon barrels (200 and 225 liters capacity), Oloroso Sherry barrels (500 and 600 liters), as well as Port barrels (250 liters), bringing complexity and depth to the flavor profile.
The Botran 18 years old rum is a sophisticated blend, combining rums aged in Solera for 5 to 18 years, resulting in exceptional aromatic richness, perfect balance, and remarkable length on the palate. Discover this exceptional rum, synonymous with artisanal craftsmanship and authenticity, ideal for discerning enthusiasts.
