This is one of those rums that I find is so smooth that when I have my normal rum & Coke Zero I really don't notice the rum by taste. Instead it sneaks up on me and I feel it. This is one of the rums my wife likes to drink straight. [NOTE: I do realize that a large amount of sugar has been added to this rum. I still like it.]

This is another staple in my liquor cabinet. Do you roll mine color a fantastic and the flavor is impeccable. And the price point is definitely right way I'd like it to be.

In my opinion, a bit overrated rum. Tasted quite good, but haven't suprised me with anything. Great for people who wants to know "how the true rum taste" but not for the rum lovers.

Almost the perfect rum to have with a cigar. Only criticism is that it is a tad syrupy. A better pampero anniversario if you have had that before. Good spice flavor with a molasses overtone, sweet finish that doesn't linger overly long.

Väldigt bra rom till bra pris. Len med en ton av kakao och vanilj perfekt till den som vill ha en lite mildare rom.

Enjoyable sipping rum with full mouth feel and the perfect pinch of sweet. Didn't enjoy as much with an ice cube, just needs 5 min to breath. Gave an extra point for price and availability at $35 in the states.

Super goût doux et fruité mais je doute que tout soit naturel dans cette bouteille

I come from a bourbon background, so I'm not used to sipping libations with added sugar.

Having said that, this one is delicious. If it had any more sugar it would be a liqueur. But as it stands, the sugar enhances the toasted vanilla flavor of the barrels in which it is aged and gives it a round, creamy mouthfeel that it wouldn't have otherwise. Think something like a whiskey sour without the acid bite of the lemon. You probably won't want more than a finger or two at a time, and you'll most likely want it to end out your evening rather than to begin it.

I've tried to use it as a component of tiki drinks that should benefit from more complex rum flavors such as mai tais and zombies, but the more subtle characteristics of the rum that make it a good sipper just get lost in the other flavors. This one is best enjoyed on its own.

Rich dark color. Wonderful nose of sweet caramel, spices, and chocolate (does not come off as a chocolate rum) I like a good Rum or Bourbon and Coke. I have some very nice Bourbons, and some recommended mid-priced rums that are fine enough for me to see where someone could enjoy drinking them neat. However, they were never something that would bring me to say, " yea, give me one of those " The Exclusiva changed that in a heartbeat. It's too smooth to break through the sweetness of a Coke so it's definitely not for a Rum and Coke, but it's wonderful on its own. By the way it's younger brother Diplomatico Mantuano is great with Coke, as well as a fine sipper in its own rights. Fortunately or unfortunately it has now brought me into the world of the quest for fine rums. Where I'm located, Exclusiva $35, Mantuano $25

Der Botucal Reserva Exclusiva ist ein sehr leckerer Rum mit einem Geschmack nach Vanille und einem sehr angenehmen Abgang. Der Rum ist ölig und süß und bietet ein sehr komplexes Geschmacksbild. Einfach lecker!
