Botran Solera 18Y is a rum aged at high altitude in the mountains of Guatemala. It comes from a blend of rums between 5 and 18 years old and has benefited from Solera-type aging. The American oak casks used for the Solera are former Sherry and Port casks. Furthermore, the aging cellars are located at an altitude of 2,300 meters, which aims to intensify the aging, thus developing delicate aromas of vanilla, tobacco, and sandalwood.

Japanese single malt whisky matured in a single Sakura cask, known for its quality. Combined with a malt aroma and the bitter taste of an unblended whisky, delicately soft and crisp notes of cherry also come through across the palate. The whisky is matured in Tottori prefecture, in a natural environment where the temperature changes considerably from one season to the next. The whisky is subtly finished with high-quality natural spring water from Mount Daisen.

The concluding installment in the "Five Virtues series" is dedicated to Water, paying homage to the five elements—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water—integral in crafting the whisky.

The whisky undergoes maturation, with half in sherry hogheads casks and the remaining half in second-fill bourbon barrels.
