Botran Roaju
Ron De Guatemala Aged Fresh Cane Juice Rum

Category: Aged Fresh Cane Juice Rum

Date Tasted: 10/22/2024

Country: Guatemala

Alcohol: 40%

Dark amber color. Aromas and flavors of chocolate covered marshmallow, leather and wet tobacco leaf, caramel roasted plantain, and dried apricot with a velvety, lively, dryish medium body and an interesting, medium-length finish with accents of caramel and bruleed orange, slightly bitter cocoa, butterscotch and leather, and cinnamon and cigar box. A very pretty Rum with a hint of earthy complexity and a lovely lingering caramel sweetness; smooth with just the faintest bit of funk.

About

Aged Fresh Cane Juice Rum

Fresh cane juice rums are made with fresh sugar cane juice instead of molasses, but are not AOC or DO products, such as Martinique Rhum, Haitian Rhum or Cachaça. These are often of excellent quality with nutty, spicy flavors and a tangy finish and are perfect for cocktails or with the best examples, ideal as a sipping rum.
