The Rum
Guatemalan rums have the particularity of being aged at high altitude in the mountains.

Generally distilled from molasses or cane honey (sugar cane syrup), these rums are aged using the solera method.

Guatemalan molasses rum: column distillation, aged for 2–3 years in ex-Bourbon American oak barrels.
Origins
A Mayan country par excellence, Guatemala is a Central American country bordered by the Pacific Ocean on one side and the Caribbean Sea on the other, with Mexico and Belize to the north, and Honduras and El Salvador to the south.

A mountainous country with a tropical climate highly favorable to sugar cane cultivation. Agriculture accounts for a quarter of GDP, with the production of coffee, sugar and bananas, and employs 50% of the active population.

Tasting Notes

APPEARANCE
Beautiful, clear amber color with slightly coppery highlights.
FLAVORS
A subtle camphor note that initially gives way to exotic fruits and gentle spices. The nose is quite intense, with alcohol, caramel and lily notes. Tobacco and wood then blend together, followed by notes of cherry stone and blackcurrant.
IN THE GLASS
Particularly fruity and indulgent, with coconut, vanilla and honey. On the palate, it evokes the character of whisky, with woody notes reminiscent of bourbon. The finish is long and very pleasant, with lingering sweetness and vanilla.
