Made from cane honey, Botran Reserva Blanca is a white rum from Guatemala.
It is aged in white oak casks that previously contained bourbon, using the so-called solera method (young rum is mixed with older rum). Although Botran Reserva Blanca undergoes a period of barrel aging, it is colorless thanks to charcoal filtration.
Botran Reserva Blanca makes an excellent cocktail base, but can also be enjoyed on its own.
Nico's tasting notes
The light nose of this rum opens up a fruity, rather silky path. One imagines peach or apricot skin, mango, fruit salad in syrup. The rum is contained by a slight powderiness, a little woody, a little charcoal. This woodiness remains really discreet, giving way to the fruit, and the rum continues to evolve with a light touch.
On the palate, the approach is rather full-bodied and fruity, then the rum quickly tightens up on charred wood. Coffee, licorice and spices take over, swarming the palate.
The finish is light, a synthesis of nose and mouth. There's a strong woody burn, but also dried fruit and vanilla caramel.
"A balanced cocktail rum that brings delicacy to the nose and presence to the palate..."
