The Rum Diaries Part XXXII

Hello Guatemala. We’ve already had the pleasure of testing the old Botran series of rum on the boat from Colombia to Panama…though I think it’s fair to say that Martijn’s memory of that particular bottle may be slightly skewed (having been muddled with two or three other bottles that day) so let’s call this our first TRUE Guatemalan rum experience.

Ron Botran 8 Años put us back about $9 and is a lovely little smooth drop of rum. Ideally I would have liked an ice cube or two (seeing as it’s 40 degrees and 98% humidity) but you know, you do what you gotta do. Looking forward to big brother 12 years sometime soon…
