This is Botran No. 18 Reserva de la Familia, a blended rum from Guatemala. The blend combines rums aged five to eighteen years using an adapted solera method, Añejamiento Dinámico, with the rum moved between casks during ageing. Former American whiskey barrels, including medium-toasted barrels, plus former Oloroso sherry and Tawny port casks are used. The number 18 does not denote the minimum age of the whole blend.
The base is concentrated sugar cane juice, known as Virgin Sugar Cane Honey, not molasses, and no sugar is added after distillation. The bottling is dedicated to Don Venancio, the eldest of the five Botran brothers.
Tasting Notes
Maple syrup and caramel aromas at first, then dark chocolate with time in the glass, plus wood, cocoa, vanilla, red berries and spicy notes.
Dry and robust, with dried plums and dark chocolate alongside caramelised fruit, maple syrup, spices and cocoa, plus fine red berry notes.
Roasted oak and dark chocolate remain, with caramel notes and red berries in the aftertaste.
