Diplomatico 2002 Botucal Single Vintage

I found this during a visit to a Suffolk pub for lunch. Had to try it as a post lunch alternative to dessert. We'll worth it. Dark, complex, smooth. The flavour kept developing the longer it was in the mouth. Worth seeking out, but would like to try again on a dark evening.

Tried the Botucal 2002 Single Vintage last year in Caracas while vacationing there and this is an amazingly smooth rum, but the reality is that Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva is less than half the price and offers you 98% the same experience.

By far the best rum I have ever tasted. This is pure vanilla and caramel, spicy finish which I love.The 43% abv gives it a fuller body, not to mention the beautiful bottle it comes in! Cant wait to tastes different batched of this.

This one is well worth the money. It’s like drinking candy, smooth as silk, long taste and not much more to ask for. No 10 because you never know what’s coming. But damn close for this one.

ve vůni je na první nádech cítit typické Diplomatico, jemné, nasládlé, dřevo, vanilka, ovoce, čokoláda, chuť nasládlá, jemných 43%, karamel, muškátový oříšek, závěr kořenitý

Beautiful smooth, delicious sipping rum. Fantastic!

I’ve just about killed this bottle and I’ve decided, it’s okay. That’s it. Nice aroma, great color, nice initial, but that’s it. Not much middle and a shorter ending. Smooth for sure, but I like more flavors.

very good value for money ... enjoy every robust deep sip .... is what is high quality rum

Now this is a very good tasting and well balanced rum.

Not so sweet, slightly musty and sour. Nose also bears bitter herbs, hazelnut and cacao. Full body a lot of power and long finish with earth and wood. Bitter almond, cloves, vanilla with a pleasant strength. A lot to discover, nice one.
