Botran Solera 1893 18-Year

Nose; A discreet palette with hints of caramel, exotic fruit, molasses, oak and vanilla.
Palate; Honey and spicy oak first. Then raisins, bitter dark chocolate, vanilla and coffee. Not very rich, creamy or soft in the flavors.
Finish; A dry, medium finish with spicy oak, exotic fruit sweetness and liquorice.
Overall; A well-made rum, but I am a bit disappointed. It is not as soft and creamy as i like my rum to be.

Really Good ans easy to drink rum !
Caramel and chamallow taste

Smell
Quite weak! It has a brown sugar, butter toffee, spices, tropical fruits and it has a little smoky smell at the end.

Mouth
It has a bitterness of bourbon. Spices and little peppery.Long after burn with butter toffee and little smoke at the end.

Perfect pair with cigar!

Good rum that always seems to please me. I love the taste and afterburn

In my humble opinion the best rum from Guatemala.
Dark amber colour, dense, long legs, you can feel the slow aged spirit in there.

Smell like honey, some toffee and cocoa bit of chocolate and bit vainilla (probably from the bourbon cask).

The taste is smooth, soft, delicate; of course you can feel the sweetness, the cocoa and some invitation to the wine aroma, probably because the Oporto cask aged.

I used to enjoy this rum straight up, or with a chunk of ice. This rum is also known as a 18 years old (the brand new package) and another way to enjoy it is on creams or cake, especially the caribbean christmas cake with fruits and so on the sweetness and rum's profile just gives an extra to the dessert.

Une palette aromatique fade par rapport à un autre produit du pays, zacapa qui au même prix sera plus attrayant, je ne lui laisse pas de seconde chance

Ce édition du botran m'a moins séduite que le 12 ans solera. Il est plus balance, moins de relief dans les arômes, on y retrouve la vanille, le caramel, et le bois. Prix abordable pour découvrir, et déboucher sans se poser de question

Premières impressions, un nez parfumé aux arômes de caramel et d'épices. En bouche, il surprend mais reste équilibré, avec une finale toute en longueur.

A teste au moins une fois :)

Plus points for impressive carafe style new bottle. For me tastier than his younger brother Reserva. More complex.

Découvert par hasard, c'est devenu une bouteille meuble dans mon bar. Il faut toujours en avoir une. De plus son prix est doux tout comme lui
