Botran Ki' Rum 0.7L

Botran Ki' is a rum from Guatemala that focuses on sweetness and warmth: caramel and honey up front, followed by vanilla and a hint of cocoa.

Botran has stood for rum from Guatemala since 1939 and is one of the country's best-known rum brands. The Ki' demonstrates this expertise in a round, sweet-leaning style.

On the nose, caramel, honey, and vanilla meet cocoa and green oak, which gives the sweetness a slightly tart edge. Preserved fruits like peach and orange add depth to the profile.

Recommendation: Neat at room temperature in a tulip glass or over a large ice cube. The caramel sweetness also comes into its own in a Rum Old Fashioned with a strip of orange zest. Dark chocolate or grilled pineapple pair well with it. A rum for a quiet evening after a meal or as a gift for anyone who likes dark, sweet-warm spirits.
