Botran Solera Reserva 15-Year

I picked up two bottles of this in duty free on the way back from Gran Canaria. It was at a really discounted rate and unfortunately I didn’t have access to rum rating otherwise I wouldn’t have gone there. It’s not great. I tried three times now and each time I’ve had a headache after drinking. Taste isn’t to my liking or the after effects. I have just poored the surplus left in the bottle in the sink. I highly do not recommend.

Nice rum with many notes and flavors for sure woody. Yes some alcohol, but for me in the mix is it a master. I rate it a 8,5

Átlagos, jó minőségű rum, de semmi kiemelkedő. Nem érződik rajta a 15 éves érlelés.

I typically like particularly sweet sippers, and this one does not go down the added sugars route, so I figured I wouldn't care much for it. It does not have the sweet inviting smell that some of its competitors have, even after letting it breathe a bit, but it's great stuff. Just honest, straightforward rum, slight burn in the throat and a pleasant dryness afterwards.

Rum bom , suave e macio. Um certo fundo de interpretação mas ok. Existem melhores na sua média de preco

I have a bit of a soft spot for Botran, as this was the first rum that really hooked me up to tasting. It is underrated, vis a vis Zacapa, but still a very fine Guatemalan product. I thoroughly recommend it for drinking neat, with nice desserts and fruits.

One of the poorest ron i tested, missing flavour,depleasant afterthaste on the tongue like the botran 18. Maybe something wrong with my palate. Definitely not for me.

This would be a good intro into sipping rums. Not too complex with an initial sweetness that quickly dissipated. Not fantastic but drinkable for a real rum guy.

Good rum to have a sip............................

Gusto morbido e note dolci, buono per i cocktail..
