This is the factory of the most representative Rum of Guatemala, Botran Rum with 80+ years of existence. Discover the history behind this family´s dream and how it became one of the best rums around the world after many years of hard work and passion.
Nowadays, besides this being the Rum Factory, it is also a museum where the history, rums, and their process of elaboration, are displayed to the world.
This rum is one of the best in the world for different factors:
1. Virgin sugar cane honey is used for its production. Only 3% of rums in the world use it, so as you can imagine, this is a world-class premium rum
2. The rum ages at 2,300 meters above sea level following the Soler aging system
3. The cold weather of the highlands helps the aging process to be slow and the rum to have better attributes
During this tour, enjoy a full-sensory experience that includes rum tasting and a special cocktail.
