Botran Solera 1893 18-Year

Good ..

Ce rhum élaboré à base de miel de canne, en fait un pur jus réduit en sirop, est un modèle d'équilibre, de délicatesse et de rondeur. Il pêche justement par son manque de relief mais il reste riche. Très agréable, il est parfait pour déguster avec quelqu'un qui n'est pas habitué aux alcools forts ou pour se détendre avec un bon rhum "facile".

This is a very nice rum. It uses wine casks as part of the solera. Intensely smooth no burn at all. No funky taste or harshness or overpowering notes. This is a great blend and I highly recommend this to anyone. The price point is amazing for this quality. Could easily drink an entire bottle of this in one sitting.

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.

Colore ambra scuro con un lieve torpore.
Al naso si presenta morbido il sentore di alcol e offre ai sensi una deliziosa nota di caramello tostato,vaniglia e un lieve odore di sherry.
In bocca e' presente la sensazione percepita all'olfatto del caramello bruciato che avvolge il palato e ne persiste a lungo lasciando quel tipico gusto amarognolo.
Buono il finale che rimane presente,ma non tanto quanto un rum vera da meditazione!!!!!

Caramel and vanilla smell with a touch of orange, spice and wood.
In the mouth a light taste of caramel and vanilla with short and light spicy finish.

Not a extraordinary rum but a good one.

Deep colour, complex flavour. A lovely high altitude solera rum.

Une couleur généreuse et ensoleillé...très ron en bouche, des aromes de bois épicés sublimes, je ne regrette vraiment pas mon choix !!!

Vanilla and an almost oily orange aroma sit over the glass. Caramel, oak and a warm peach make an appearance too. The taste is all warming sweetness with a butterscotch edge. Slight spice and a sweet oak. Peaches, butterscotch, and an orange sweetness hit you in waves. There is a tiny bit of oaky bitterness.

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
