This is an excellent rum for the price, in my opinion it is too good to be mixed and should be drunk with a single ice cube which helps bring out notes of caramel, molasses and vanilla with an excellent finish. For the money you can't go wrong, a bit difficult to find but worth it.

But it has a nice golden brown color, a nice smooth smell, a nice round taste & aftertaste. Not too bad all in all.

Sweet and tasty to the nose, sweet and tasty in the mouth... Not too sweet, though: a well-balanced combination for a very decent price. Maybe not the best, but one I'll share with my friends.

très léger en bouche pas du tous agressif, léger gout vanillé ressemble au diplomatico reserva mais le sucre en moins ce qui est très agréable pour éviter d'être écœuré trop rapidement, ideal pour une fin de repas, et surtout un rapport qualite prix tres interessant

Dnes si představíme poslední značku z významných producentů Guatemaly, a to, po Zacapě a Maltecu, rum od firmy Botran.
Botran Reserva je vyroben metodou solera z panenské šťávy cukrové třiny, jedná se o směs rumů starých 5-14 let zrajících v sudech po bourbonu, po portském a po sherry.
Alkohol: 40 %
Původ: Guatemala
Aroma: Aroma je suché, kořenité (hlavně skořice), s tóny kůže a sušeného ovoce nebo lesních plodů. (84 b)
Chuť: Chuť nasládlá a kořenitá, se středně plným tělem. Kůže, dřevo, hromada koření. V dochuti je patrná nejdřív suchost sherry, poté následuje táhlá hřejivá kořenitost. Dozvuk je velmi podařený. (86 b)
Body: 85

Nice smooth rum, with a little bite at the end. Not to expensive and also go well as a mixer.
rhum très puissant & complexe,saveur riche, boisé, corsé, vieilli en fût de bourbon et de xérès, un must!

Det er de samme folk bag som laver Zacapa "De har 60 %". Men den når slet ikke Zacapa til sokkeholderne!

The same folks that make the Ron Zacapa brand make the Botran brand. I was sitting at a Cuban restaurant in New York last week, just two days before National Rum Day when I had the pleasure of tasting Botran Reserva. That's right! I drank that straight up and it was smooth. Zacapa 23 is one of my favorite rums because of its complexity and smoothness, but some say it's a little on the sweet side. Botran makes up for where Zacapa 23 can be improved on. Equally complex, Botran is smoother and at 60-70% of the price of Zacapa 23, there are few other better deals in the $30-$35 range.
Overall, it is good on the rocks, but would be good in a mix drink too, just don't over mix it. Keep it simple, a daiquiri will do. Trust me. When you have a good piece of meat, you don't ever want to cook it too much.

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!
