Botran harvests sugar cane from a family estate in southern Guatemala, presses it and heats the juice to create virgin sugar cane 'honey', which it ferments, distils and ages through a Solera process that employs several types of cask. This is then charcoal filtered to remove the colour.

Review and Tasting

Sampled on 30/07/2012

Appearance:

Clear, deep coppery amber.

Aroma:

Crème caramel and oak dominates an appealing nose with mild cinnamon spice, nubuck leather, toffee apple and sweet madeira wine.

Taste:

Intensely flavoured, initially dry, almost powdery oak with clove and cinnamon spice balanced by emerging honey and sherry-like sweetness, fudge and caramel, dates and burnt sultana fruit.

Aftertaste:

Long burn currant and molasses finish with lingering cinnamon spice.
