Botran 15 Year Reserva Especial 700ml

Discover the rich heritage of Botran 15 Year Reserva Especial 700ml, a premium Guatemalan rum crafted by Botran, one of Guatemala's most respected rum producers. Made from virgin sugar cane honey rather than molasses, this rum reflects the distinctive character of Guatemala's high-altitude maturation environment.

Botran No. 15 is produced using the brand's Dynamic Aging (adapted Solera) process, blending rums matured between 5 and 15 years in a succession of carefully selected casks. The rum spends time in ex-American Whiskey, medium-toasted American Whiskey, Oloroso Sherry, and finally Tawny Port barrels, creating exceptional depth and complexity.

Bottled at 40% ABV (80 Proof), Botran No. 15 presents aromas of ripe fruit, citrus, and warm spices. The palate offers layers of apricot, orange peel, clove, cinnamon, toasted oak, and subtle sweetness, balanced by a dry, elegant finish with lingering oak spice. It is equally enjoyable neat, over a large ice cube, or as the foundation for a premium Rum Old Fashioned.
