Botran Solera 1893 18-Year

My first experience with this was at a new year's party when someone brought this. I was curious and tried it. Loved it. Shocked it was a rum and have been into high quality sipping rums over whiskey ever since. This is such a nice balance of deep caramel and a touch of spice that leans towards a molasses flavor but just hints at it. I'm not a fan of molasses heavy rums and this gets right up to the edge for me but doesn't cross over into the heavy molasses flavors. This I can down neat or on the rocks. It's not the smootest, but the burn is pretty mild. The flavors are heavy up front and the finish is very slight and relatively lasting. This is a solid choice for whatever your purpose. Sip or mix it will go down well.

Klasse Rum zum Top Preis. 22€ habe ich für diesen vollmundigen Rum nur bezahlt. Leichte Würze, wenig süße aber mild. Klasse!!!

Denne rom er smagt til Whiskymesse 2022 i Kolding. 7,5 vil jeg mene, den får dog en 8’er pga pris (selvom jeg normalt ikke tager højde for det)

Ovocny a jemny rum.. Lehce na konci prijemne zastipe. Ale ta chut ovoce, mozma visni je super

Part of the new line from Botran after merging with Ron Zacapa. The influence from Zacapa is very present, to the point that it isn't worth buying Zacapa. Quite woody, very smooth.

I really like this rum. I am getting lots of cinnamon on the nose and it has a great mouth feel for me. Sweet but not over sweet and slow long finish.

I would recommend this to my friends who want to get into rum tasting.

Good ..

Pomerne výrazný, mierne vanilkovy a malo sladký rum bez zlej pachute

Endnu en af de rommer der i eftersmagen har noter af røg.
Denne er lidt lig Ron Zacapa dog med en eftersmagt af røg, dog er den en anelse mere tør en Ron Zacapa.

Great sweet yet subtle nose. Really pleasant balance of sweet, spice and a nice lingering oily finish. Little sour for my taste but really a top notch rum
