Botran strips away all the colour from a rum that has genuinely aged for years, leaving a clear, easy-drinking result that surprises with its depth.
Expert Description
Ron Botran Reserva Blanca is a Guatemala Rum from Industrias Licoreras de Guatemala, blended from rum aged 3 to 8 years and bottled at 40%.
The rum matures in American whiskey casks in the Guatemalan highlands around Quetzaltenango, where the distillery sits at up to 2,300 metres above sea level. The relatively cool location gives a slower maturation than in many other rum-producing countries. After ageing, the rum is charcoal filtered to remove the colour, giving Reserva Blanca its clear appearance while retaining much of the aromatic complexity from the cask ageing.
The result is an unusually complex white rum that offers more than the clear colour immediately suggests.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Vanilla and oak, with white grape and a hint of pineapple.
Palate
Soft and explosive with fruity tones and an unusual complexity, along with a hint of grapefruit peel.
Finish
Medium length and clean, with a dry, lightly citrus-driven close.
