Botran Reserva Blanca
An approachable white rum for those building their palate. Light, unsweetened and column-distilled from sugarcane honey, it brings vanilla, light fruit, anise/licorice and gentle wood notes. RumX members mostly see it as a smooth, serviceable mixer or easy sipper rather than a complex standout, with a dry, slightly creamy finish.

Dry, smooth, simple white mixer An approachable white rum for those building their palate. Light, unsweetened and column-distilled from sugarcane honey, it brings vanilla, light fruit, anise/licorice and gentle wood notes. RumX members mostly see it as a smooth, serviceable mixer or easy sipper rather than a complex standout, with a dry, slightly creamy finish.
Cocktail enthusiasts wanting a drier, unsweetened white rum with light vanilla, fruit and subtle anise, and drinkers who prefer smooth, easygoing spirits over funky or heavy styles.
Those seeking rich sipping complexity, strong Jamaican-style funk, or a sweet, dessert-like white rum; also not ideal for people who dislike anise/licorice notes.

Review by Trinkfluencer
Very alcoholic spicy. The toffee notes from smelling, I taste when groping unfortunately no longer out. Overall, it fills the mouth very full-bodied and warm. However, I lack a flavorful accent that pushes a little in the foreground.

Nose: vanilla, wood, candy floss, very, but pleasantly sweet Taste: same as nose, but surprisingly drier, wood tannins, cream, a bit thick/creamy Finnish: medium, creamy woody, vanilla

Smooth for a white rum

Notes huileuses et vive sans notes de canne à sucre, plus tequila/mezcal
Review by Kieron Wood
Tasted 06-09-2017 Tasting notes Starts with a sambuca essence that is downright disgusting to smell in a rum. I understand this is a white rum and to some people they will love the aniseed and fruit heavy dosing you get .. Me personally this doesn't suit my pallete at all

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
"It offers a light, subtle and dry white rum which will no doubt be of great use in cocktails as mentioned above. It doesn't do anything remarkable but at the same time it doesn't do much wrong. It's enjoyable and easy going."Read full review →
