Distillery Information

A family passion Between 1911 and 1923, the brothers Venancio, Andrés, Felipe, Jesús, and Alejandro Botran, sons of Andrés Botran García and Paula Merino Requejo, leave their home village of Burgos (Spain) to set sail on a dream. Guatemala was waiting for them on the other side of the ocean. Fraternity, hard work and passion denyd strengthening the family ties. Based on these unbreakable principles, the Botran brothers founded Industria Licorera Quezalteca. Located in the west of Guatemala, this industry stands out today as a living proof of a family passion that grows as the years go by. The history of the production of alcoholic beverages in Guatemala is strongly linked to the Botran family – one of the pioneers in the industry – who gives its name to the line of quality aged rums that have given recognition to the country for over five decades. Since the mid-20th century, the Botran family has poured their passion on perfecting the whole productive process of their rums. Secrets are passed on from one generation to another, allowing the continuous improvement of the whole production chain: sowing, distillation, fermentation, bottling, packaging and distribution, all of which are zealously monitored in order to guarantee the characteristics that distinguish the Botran rums around the world.
