Botran

The brand is named after the Botrán family, who immigrated from Spain and became active in spirits production in Guatemala in the 20th century. The Botrán family were among the founders of the historic Industria/Licorera Quezalteca (today part of the Industrias Licoreras de Guatemala group). Over time the brand developed dedicated aging centers (including Casa Botran) and helped establish Guatemalan rum on international markets through the introduction of aged ranges and expanded exports to Europe and other markets.

To showcase Guatemalan terroir and family tradition through high-quality aged rums: vertical integration (own plantations), controlled high-altitude maturation and blending via a dynamic solera approach to achieve complexity and continuity between vintages.

Integrated production starting from sugarcane cultivation, followed by distillation and subsequent aging in a dynamic solera system; the spirits are matured at high altitude in Casa Botran and undergo repeated transfers between barrels/casks and blending tanks to achieve the final profile.
