Botran Rum No. 18 Reserva de la Familia Review
If you're dedicated to sipping American whiskey but want to explore rum, this expression from Guatemala might catch your eye. The blend of five to 18-year-old rums shares a similar profile to aged, grain-based distillates. Meanwhile, the complex, "dynamic" process used for maturation shares similarities with the Solera method of sherry. In this case, a combination of American whiskey, Port, and sherry casks are used, the latter adding a nutty character to the finish.
