Botran KI’ Guatemala Solera Ex-Moscatel Finish 40% 70cl

This exceptional Botran KI’ is a decadent journey into the heart of Guatemala. Far more than a traditional aged rum, it is a striking fusion of tropical intensity, meticulous maturation, and a world-class finish. Inspired by Ki’—the Mayan K’iché word for "sun"—and created from the highest quality virgin sugarcane honey, this vibrant expression is the rum that, as they say, "pushes the limit just a bit too far!"

Created with an uncompromising focus on texture and gourmandise, this dynamic solera masterpiece transforms a classic Guatemalan spirit into a rich, liquid dessert. It is a bold statement of craftsmanship, perfect for those who seek a rum that is as thick and generous as a chocolate fondant.

A Masterclass in Refinement

Every bottle of Botran KI’ embodies the art of patient aging and innovative finishing. The character of this rum was forged through a precise technical process:

  • The Virgin Sugar Honey: Crafted exclusively from first-press virgin sugarcane honey rather than molasses, providing a sturdy, naturally sweet backbone of elegant fruit and pure highland terroir.

  • The Dynamic Solera: Slowly matured in the cool mountains of Guatemala through an adapted solera system, seamlessly harmonizing the vibrant freshness of younger rums with the deep wood complexity of old reserves.

  • The Moscatel Finish: A sophisticated finishing period in elite ex-Moscatel wine barrels, allowing rich, velvety grape sweetness, floral elegance, and a distinctive roundness to intertwine seamlessly.

  • Pure Authenticity: Bottled entirely without added sugar, preserving every ounce of its oily texture, heavy density, and natural character without a single compromise.

Tasting Experience

Inside the bottle lies a profile so rich and velvety that it feels like Christmas in a glass.

  • Nose: For the fruit and honey lovers! You are immediately immersed in a bath of golden honey, rich raisins, and ripe tropical fruits—thick, greasy, and flowing. It evokes the scent of a buttery chocolate fondant fresh from the oven, drizzled with sweet nectar. Then, a "diva" makes her entrance: delicate floral nuances and light oak. This is followed by layers of gingerbread, cinnamon, and a comforting touch of Moscatel warmth.

  • Palate: Pure indulgence. The term "fondant" was no exaggeration; the rum literally melts on the palate with a soft, full-bodied explosion of refined sweetness and a near-sorbet-like freshness of dried fruits. The density and "fat" are remarkable, offering notes of orangettes, velvety vanilla cream, oven-warm gingerbread, and a creamy tiramisu beautifully balanced by hints of exotic spice and elegant wood tones.

  • Finish: Long, smooth, and incredibly gourmand. The texture clings to the palate, leaving a complex, graceful conclusion of lingering sweet fruits and delicate oak spice that invites you back for another sip just for the sheer pleasure of it.
