Botran - The rum from the Zacapa distillery

The history of this rum originated in 1939 , when the Botrans, a family of Spanish emigrants, started the distillation activity in Guatemala , in the city of Quetzaltenango, which rises at 2300 meters above sea level, in a region considered ideal for the cultivation of sugar cane and for the aging of rum.
