Botran Solera Reserva 15-Year

Rhum tres agreable en bouche,avec une légèreté des arômes tres agréable.

Sugar 0-5
Although this is produced by the same company that brings us the Zacapa rums this rum is not the same as Zacapa, no matter what the sales clerk tells you. It's light with oak,vanilla, caramel and some spices. It trends towards being a spiced rum at first taste. It's got a strong alcohol smell and taste. It's not unpleasant by any means and I would classify this as a mixing rum. Spend a bit more and get the 18 year old Solera version. Solid mixer, not so much as a sipper.

I would recommend if you like more sweet rum with neutral taste.

Ron de Guatemala, note de vanille et caramel soupçon d'épices très agréable à boire, pour ma part pur car assez bon que pour être dégusté tel quel! Je valide et conseille ce Ron!

Kind of a let down..made by the same company as Zacapa. I love Zacapa..but this has no real flavors..dry.. boring actually.wont buy it again

Bon là, on m'a offert du vrai rhum.

Cela dit je trouve qu'on sent plus l'alcool que le goût en lui même dans le premier temps.

Faut attendre un peu pour avoir le goût qui n'est pas déplaisant.

Traído de Guatemala por mi hermano es digno representante de las tierras centro americanas. No se puede dejar de probar

Très bon rhum malgres certain avis je le conseille vivement

One of the classic solera entry level rum. Is a blend of selectet rums aged between 5 and 14 years in solera system. Natural sweet notes of vanilla and dried fruits on the nose. Between guatemalan rums, I still prefer the Zacapa high end's.

I spent $23 US on this, and I expected something more along the lines of a mixer for that price. Instead, what I got was a delicious, complex, smooth rum perfect for drinking straight, with a splash of water, or on the rocks (my preferred if I can't put it in a freezer... I love my spirits very cold, for some reason).

Another surprise is how sweet it is, considering the results of the sugar test conducted by nomad and edited into their review back on page 1 (0-5g).

This rum is made from virgin sugar honey and aged via the Solera system in bourbon, port, and sherry casks. It definitely shows from the amazing palate. There's some dried fruits, almond, and orange (I love that orange citrus note on the tongue). The finish is almost like a chocolate cinnamon, only more on the dark/bitter-sweet side than the milk/creamy side.

The nose is also wonderful, giving off some charred wood aromas like oak, as well as creamy caramel and honey.

I absolutely recommend this one, especially as a baseline for introducing someone to Reservas. Obviously better can be found, but this is definitely the definition of a good Reserva.

Enjoy!
