Botucal Reserva Exclusiva

i have never seen it as Botucal.. but it looks exactly as Diplomatico..
Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva is a must have Rum in your shelf and the price is excelent..

Pleasant smell, aromatic, sweet taste... good value for a money. No strong alcohol "Bite", smooth and silky!

The sugary sweetness masks so much of the flavour.
Also there is kind of an artificial sweetener / vanilla note I do not like.
Apart from that, I can taste other notes - but they're hidden in the back, unfortunately.
I cannot recommend this as a sipping rum.
My glimmer of hope is that without those overwhelming sweet and artificial notes it might be quite a recommendable rum.

Bought it because of high rating and definitely worth it! Easy going rum that is really both excellent for sipping and mixing.

It's dark, a little bit heavy, but sweet and rather smooth with nice nose and mouth. It goes super well in cuba libre, daquiri or any other kind of drinks.

I'll be buying more in the future :)

Very, very sweet, oily and creamy - I know it is desired by many as a characteristics of "premium" rum, but for me it is almost as much non-authentic as it could be. Next to sweetness alcohol is quite noticeable - for rum which has ca. 10 years in barrel it is a bit strange. Very likely most of the blend are cheap multi-column distillates - you pay first of all for a fancy bottle (and lot of added sugar), not a great product.

Love the taste. You should drink it pure, room temperature.

Zeer lekker en een mooie fles. Goed om lekker rustig te zitten met een lekkere rum.

Dobry balans pomiędzy wyrazistością alkoholu w rumie a słodyczą. Niemniej, nic wyjątkowego.

Gut trinkbar , aber für mich etwas zu Süß.

Drinkable, but a bit too sweet for me.

En mooie rum om mee te starten. Mooie kleur beetje caramel licht van smaak
