Ron Botran Reserva Blanca Rum
Ron Botran Reserva Blanca Rum is an aged white rum bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof), distilled in Guatemala from virgin sugar cane honey and aged under Botran's dynamic solera system in American white oak barrels that previously held American whiskey, then charcoal filtered back to crystal clear. It carries the depth of an aged rum with the clean color a cocktail needs. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

An Aged Rum, Filtered Back to White
Most white rums are unaged. Reserva Blanca starts the other way: Botran ferments virgin cane honey — the first press of the cane, not molasses — and ages the rum for years in the cool Guatemalan highlands around Quetzaltenango, where maturation runs slower than at sea level. Charcoal filtration then strips the color the barrels gave it, leaving a crystal-clear rum that keeps its woody, dried-fruit depth. See the house on the Botran vendor page, or browse our rum collection.
Tasting Notes
Per the brand and expert notes: delicate woody and dried-fruit character under a crystal-clear color, with vanilla, oak, white grape, and pineapple, a soft fruity palate with grapefruit peel, and a clean, dry, lightly citrus finish.
