Aroma visualization from community tastings
Ron Botran Rare Blend Guatemalan Oak
Sip nethis at 40%, it drinks soft and easy — a lot of oak up front with caramel, vanilla and a bit of dried fruit behind it. The body is thin, so it never gets big or hot, and there's a light coffee note on the short finish. Several tasters find it pleasant but "average," a wood-forward sipper that's been lightly sweetened rather than a flavor bomb.
The community says- Smooth and easy
- Caramel and vanilla

Soft, oak-forward, lightly sweetened easy sipper Woody, soft and lightly sweetened, with caramel and vanilla over a thin body. Pleasant enough for a quiet evening, but most find it simple and think the price asks too much.

I had so awesome presentation of this rum, I have to rate higher than the taste deserves! The degustation was awesome and it count!
Review by Djoul 🇧🇪
Plus rond que le 18ans Agréable en bouche, pas trop porte sur alcool, finale plus long que le 18 Verre vide bien boisé
Review by Felix Reiber
Die weiche Nase verspricht viel Karamell, Vanille, Rosinen und Dattelnoten, sowie Trockenfrüchte und ganz entfernt Orange. Am Gaumen ist er relativ dünn mit wenig Körper, jedoch angenehmen Karamell-und Vanillenoten mit leichten Akzenten von Kaffee und schönen Holznoten. Die 40 % Vol. halten die Intensität etwas im Zaum, schaffen aber eine cremige Textur. Der kurze Abgang ist würzig, holzig und bietet Karamell, Vanille und leichte Kaffeenoten. Dieser Botran ist keine Geschmacksexplosion, aber ein guter Rum für zwischendurch.
Review by Werner10
A very woody rum. The oak flavors dominate the taste profile with some dried fruits and a bit of vanilla to support it. But with a pricetag of around 80 to 90€ too expensive for what you get imo.
