It is made from sugar cane syrup and matured according to the Solera process in the mountains of Guatemala. It is an expressive rum with notes of toasted oak and fruits.
The Botran No. 8 is elaborated by a slow and laborious process created by the Botran family, which arrived from Burgos to Guatelama. He designed a unique style over the years creating complex rums with a long finish and subtle notes. That's what this drink is, a real pleasure for all the senses. It is a tribute to Don Jesus Botran, Born in 1899, remembered for his conversations full of ideas and dynamism.
One of its main qualities is the cultivation of sugarcane varieties highly valued for its concentration of sugars. The first pressing of this special product is obtained concentrated juice, called virgin Honey. From it are distilled the aged rums Botran, which are made with the residue of the elaboration of sugar, or molasses.

About the Producer
Industrias Licoreras de Guatemala has a history dating back to 1939 and is located in the highlands of Guatemala.
Perfectly positioned between North and South America and flanked by the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, Guatemala is a land rich in biodiversity and varied ecosystems.
Situated over 1,000 feet above sea level in southwestern Guatemala, the Ron Botran Plantation enjoys generous amount of sunlight, mineral-rich volcanic soils and an ideal climate for growing fresh, raw sugar cane, the raw material of Botran Premium rums. Botran Rums are part of the 3% of the rums elaborated with the First Press from the sugar cane juice.
There, expert farmers — many of whom have been tending to the land for decades — carefully analyze the sugar cane as it matures on the estate, harvesting only the canes that contain high levels of sucrose and fiber and low levels of impurities.
The rums of Guatemala are also distinguished by their unique, high-altitude aging process in the highlands. The altitude and cooler temperature restrict evaporation so the rums may adopt their individual taste profiles. Making “high-rum” in this way is a unique art form that has been carefully conserved and enriched over the years.
For over six decades Botran has been crafting rums in this great Guatemalan tradition. The Botran family’s uncompromising dedication to quality and superior taste is present in every step of the process, from the sugar cane fields through distillation, aging and to the final blending.
They made one eye-opening journey, from sunny Spain to glorious Guatemala. And in 1940, they founded Botran. A rum with a distinctive attitude.
Distillers say they want to give the world a taste of the freedom, rhythm and vitality they feel in Guatemala. The cane is grown, fermented, and distilled in the rich green fields of Retalhuleu.
Then they age the rums in the mountains of Quetzaltenango, perfect conditions for letting the unique, Dynamic Ageing System shine. Finally, they bottle the rums in Mixco, near Guatemala City, creating a rum that’s the true product of Guatemala.
