Botafogo DARK RUM Trinidad & Tobago 40% Vol. 0,7l

Botafogo Dark Rum originates from the Caribbean rum capital of Trinidad & Tobago and impresses with its aromatic depth and spiciness. With an alcohol content of 40% ABV and bottled in a 0.7-liter bottle, it is a full-bodied representative of Caribbean rum tradition that excels both neat and in cocktails.

This dark rum is made primarily from molasses, which is first distilled in column stills and then aged in oak barrels. Barrel aging gives it its dark color and characteristic notes of caramel, vanilla, toasted wood, and light spice. Typical of rum from Trinidad & Tobago is its smooth structure, elegant sweetness, and delicate balance between fruit and spice.

The Botafogo brand combines traditional Caribbean rum craftsmanship with a modern lifestyle, offering a versatile base for cocktails with its dark rum—powerful, aromatic, and authentic.
