Botran 18-Year-Old rum is an exceptional blend, crafted in tribute to Don Venancio, the eldest brother of the Botran Merino family founders. This authentic Guatemalan rum delicately combines spirits aged between 5 and 18 years. Its unique maturation follows the Solera method, carefully balancing four types of barrels: American bourbon, charred American bourbon, sherry casks, and port casks, which together impart an extraordinary aromatic richness.
The aging takes place in cellars located at an altitude of 2,300 meters—a rare environment that accelerates maturation and enhances the development of complex aromas thanks to the distinctive climatic conditions found at high elevation.
Ron Botran Reserva 18 years old displays a deep mahogany color with shimmering red highlights. It reveals itself as both elegant and expressive, offering a bouquet that subtly blends woody notes with hints of cocoa, vanilla, and caramel. On the palate, it unveils a rich and generous range of flavors, combining spicy tones, touches of maple syrup, and fruity nuances of red berries. The finish is smooth and refined, leaving behind silky caramel accents.
This Botran 18-year-old rum is perfect to enjoy neat, allowing you to fully appreciate its complexity, or in a sophisticated cocktail for an unforgettable tasting experience. It truly embodies a journey to the heart of Guatemala’s lands.

The origins of the Botran brand go back to the 20th century, when the Botran family stopped distilling in Spain to emigrate to Guatemala. In their new location, the five brothers discovered an ideal climate for aging rum and thus founded the Insdustria Licorera Quezalteca in 1939. All the sugar cane used comes from their family estate, located in Retalhuleu in the south, on volcanic and tropical soils. Botran rums have the particularity of being made from virgin sugar cane honey. This honey is made from fresh cane juice which is filtered and purified then heated and concentrated under vacuum to preserve all the aromatic qualities. Aging in different types of barrels according to the Solera method and in a tropical climate brings out complex and expressive rums.
