Botran Rare Blend Guatemalan Oak Tube is a remarkable molasses-based rum, crafted to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the esteemed Ron Botran brand. Distilled in Guatemala, this exquisite rum showcases the master blender's meticulous selection of barrels from Botran's dynamic aging system. Unlike traditional methods, Botran rums are regularly transferred from one type of wood to another to enhance their flavors. They transition from bourbon barrels to recharred bourbon barrels, then to sherry barrels, and finally to port barrels.
For this special edition, a fifth type of barrel was introduced: a Guatemalan oak barrel, made specifically for Botran. To honor Casa Botran's 80th anniversary, the family decided to share their finest rum reserves while paying homage to their Guatemalan heritage. Botran Rare Blend Guatemalan Oak is a blend of extra-aged rums, matured in five distinct types of barrels: ex-bourbon, recharred bourbon, port, sherry, and Guatemalan oak. The result is a rum with a unique character that is both raw and silky, presented in a stunning carafe.
This rare blend stands as a testament to Botran's commitment to high-quality rum craftsmanship. Through their unique aging process and variety of barrels, they have produced a rich, smooth, and well-rounded spirit.
This rum is unique due to its aging process, which involves transferring the rum between five different types of barrels: ex-bourbon, recharred bourbon, port, sherry, and Guatemalan oak.
