Botran

Botran is a family that gave its name to the first distillery in Guatemala. Already known in this small Central American country for the production of sugar cane, the Botran family started to produce rum when five brothers noticed that the high altitude of the heart of the country provided the ideal conditions for ageing. Thus, in 1939, the Industria Licorera Quezalteca was created.

While the family controls the cultivation of the cane plants which are then used to distil the rum, it has also adopted the solera ageing system which allows for harmonious maturation. The oak barrels are stored at an altitude of 2400 m to slow down the process and allow the brandy to take on more of the aromas.

Botran is now a brand recognised worldwide for the finesse and richness of its rums. Read less
