Some people expect a sweet Zacapa-style sipper here and instead get something drier and smokier. Reviews split hard: a few taste vanilla, caramel and cocoa, while one member could "mistake it easily for whiskey" — woody, earthy, a little smoky. Column-still and gently aged, it reads honest but simple, with one taster calling it "sweet and not complex."
The community says- Vanilla and cocoa

How does Botran Ron Añejo 12 Years taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Soft vanilla-caramel sipper, honestly one-dimensional Opinions are all over the place. Some enjoy the vanilla-caramel softness and low additive feel; others find it thin, alcoholic, or too syrupy-sweet. Fine, not memorable.

Review by Timo Groeger
Quite okay so far. Woody, coffee and esters on the nose. On the palate it comes across as very alcoholic, even the light coffee and chocolate notes can't mask this. Average, nothing more.
Review by TheJackDrop
In 15 years old dessos, it's not crazy... To sum up, my tasting notes: Nose: Honeyed, Caramelized, Vanilla flavored On the palate: Sweet, Vanilla, Caramel, Cocoa Finish: Brown, Vanilla

Easy sipper and mixer with good value for money, also discovered at one of the first Hanse Spirit events.

Review by Guillaume Stanislav
A bit rough at first glance, reveals itself on the third sip.
Review by Mateusz
A little too one-dimensional. Sweet and not complex
Review by Richard Krupa
Similar to Diplo, a bit worse though.

Review by Tomáš Šárocký
The smell was very smokey, without just a little bit of sweetness in a sense of some caramel or similar. The taste is petty strong and probably I'd mistake it easily for whiskey if I don't know it's rum - smokey, woody and earthy.
Review by Kieron Wood
Tasted 03-06-2017 This was such a caramel experiment, disgusting sweet throat clogging syrup.

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
Read full review ›It certainly lets the rum which naturally occurred in the barrel shine much more than Zacapa. You don't get the feeling you are drinking something which is additive laden. Good, if not groundbreaking rum at a relatively inexpensive price point.
