<p>Solera aging, we love thee! </p><p><em>Industrias Licoreras de Guatemala </em>are the kings of Guatemala Rum. What’s that you say? You haven’t heard about Guatemala Rum? Well let us tell you just a bit. The first thing that you need to know is that Industrias Licoreras de Guatemala production takes place above <em>7000 feet</em> in elevation. So even though Guatemala sits smack dab in the middle of the <em>Central American tropics,</em> the Rum doesn’t age in the sweltering heat. The mountains are more temperate, helping the Rum age more <em>consistently </em>and <em>smoothly</em>. </p><p>They make a solid variety of Rum brands of different ages and price points, including <em>Casa Botran</em> and <em>Ron Zacapa</em>… all of them well regarded and flavorful. </p><p><em>Ron Botran 18 Year Old Solera 1893</em> … the name tells you a lot. Ron Botran is a quality brand from Industrias Licoreras de Guatemala, telling you about their tradition of fine craftsmanship and <em>locally-sourced sugar cane</em>. <em>“Solera”</em> tells you that this fine, aged Rum is produced over a long time through the gentle, perpetual <em>solera method</em>. So this tropical delight has some really old, premium stuff in the mix. The result is a complexity and depth of flavor that you just can’t get any other way. It’s hard to find solera at this price point, so take advantage of the opportunity. </p><p>This nice little Rum avoids another pitfall all-to-common in the liquor world today—they don’t over heat or over distill it. It retains a character and flavor profile of its own. This surprisingly complex Guatemalan Rum is a very nice,<em> easy drinker on its own</em>. Muchas gracias! </p>
