Had higher expectations from a 12y old. Don't like it with coke too much, like it better on the rocks. Strong alcohol flavour, lacking character. Don't like the aftertaste a lot, but not too bad considering the price.
5.5/10
Decent sweetness, but too harsh alcohol. Overall lacking a decent taste (some oak, vanilla, liquorice): too 'watery'
A good one for a reasonnable price. Tasty and perfumed, this is the kind of rum you'll enjoy after dinner along with a piece of dark chocolate.. Not revolutionnary but a good choice that every amateur should possess.
Un ron de sabor suave y dulce, en MΓ©xico la botella es mΓ‘s bonita q la original con tapΓ³n de corcho.
SegΓΊn dicen es un Zacapa econΓ³mico. Ya que tambiΓ©n son de la misma regiΓ³n.
Muy recomendable.
Misma destileria que Zacapa. Mientras que el Zacapa es para beber solo o en las rocas, el Botran es bueno para Cuba Libre
OK rum uit Guatemala met veel karamel smaak. Beetje te scherp om te sippen. Met ijs iets beter.
similar to older Botran or Malteco, thinner and afterburn a bit harsher, but decent rum.
el akcohol se separa del resto de la figura, si tomas mucho sentiras los efectos
It got this for 20β¬ which is golden. I like the Botran rums,and i tried this younger one as a reasonable daily sipper. Tho not as deep as the 18yo,it is excellent. Just like the Guatemalan in general,you taste immadiately the molasses and you can blindly tell in the nose and palate that it's either a
Zacapa/Maltecto/Botran. The afterburn is a bit harsher but not disturbing. A sweety but light rum,eventhough quite cheap,still too good to be mixed

Firstly: it's cheap. Also people should note, the Botran 12 is, like most Botrans and most Zacapas, a solera-style rum, so it's not actually 12 years old. When I was in Guatemala I drank this far more than the often praised but wildy overrated Zacapa 23 (which to me is an overly sweet cloying licqueur, not a proper rum). This is a lot dryer, more honest. You do get some alcohol, and a somewhat unrefined sensation, but at half the price of the Zacapa 23 this was always the better option for me.
