Aroma visualization from community tastings
Botran Reserva Blanca
Opinions land all over the map here. Most tasters find a light, dry white rum — vanilla, soft oak, a little orange peel and cocoa, and one member calls it "smooth for a white rum." But it runs alcoholic and hot for 40%, and a few pick up an anise/licorice note that one reviewer flat-out hated. Better filtered aged white than a sipper.

How does Botran Reserva Blanca taste?
Aggregated from 16 community reviews.
Light, dry aged white — easy mixer, runs hot Reviews split hard: fine, easy mixer for most, but the heat and a divisive anise streak sink it for others. Little happens in the glass either way.

Review by Trinkfluencer
Very alcoholic spicy. The toffee notes from smelling, I taste when groping unfortunately no longer out. Overall, it fills the mouth very full-bodied and warm. However, I lack a flavorful accent that pushes a little in the foreground.
Review by Fifulek
Nose: vanilla, wood, candy floss, very, but pleasantly sweet Taste: same as nose, but surprisingly drier, wood tannins, cream, a bit thick/creamy Finnish: medium, creamy woody, vanilla

Smooth for a white rum

Notes huileuses et vive sans notes de canne à sucre, plus tequila/mezcal
Review by Kieron Wood
Tasted 06-09-2017 Tasting notes Starts with a sambuca essence that is downright disgusting to smell in a rum. I understand this is a white rum and to some people they will love the aniseed and fruit heavy dosing you get .. Me personally this doesn't suit my pallete at all

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
Read full review →It offers a light, subtle and dry white rum which will no doubt be of great use in cocktails as mentioned above. It doesn't do anything remarkable but at the same time it doesn't do much wrong. It's enjoyable and easy going.
