About Botran® Rums
The Botran® family has been the creator of premium rums in Guatemala for more than six decades, with uncompromising dedication to quality. In 1939, five brothers from Burgos, Spain, settled in Guatemala and began using the one-of-a-kind Solera System aging process. With this method, the rums are aged in white oak barrels, new and charred, which previously held American Whiskey, aged Sherry Wines and finally, are placed in Port barrels. This aging system works in harmony with the concentrated sugar cane juice extracted from sugar cane harvested from the family's very own cane fields. It is Botran®'s use of this pure sugar extract as opposed to molasses that yields rums with bold, intricate flavors. The Botran® portfolio includes the Reserva, aged up to 15 years, the Solera 1893, aged up to 18 years, and the Botran® Reserva Blanca aged 3 years. Botran® Rums are synonymous with Mojitos and rum and Cokes, among other rum-inspired cocktails. However, it is the powerful flavors that encourage the rums to be enjoyed alone as a sipping rum, that set Botran® apart.
