Somehow you can't get past the Botucal Reserva Exclusiva. For 30-40 euros it is a cheap rum and can be bought almost everywhere in Germany. First of all, I can say that I don't understand the hype. Very negative is that the rum is strongly sugared - 44g/l.

In the nose, the rum is very sweet with spice. Some sweet and smokey notes which are quite appealing but give hope for more. On the palate, the botucal disappoints after all. A lot of sweetness from the added sugar destroys a lot of the flavors that the rum wants to offer. I noticed some caramel, toffee and smoke. Most of it is sweetness produced by sugar. The finish is the same sweet with some Toffee and spice. The rum disappeared after a short time and over remains a sticky taste and a film on the tongue that does not really make you want more.

Overall, the rum is totally overvalued. I cannot understand that. Apparently, for many, the high degree of sweetness is still crucial for a good rum. For the same money there are already many rums that have much more to offer. He just confirmed to me that I want to look for and enjoy rums with character and expressiveness. The Botucal can't score here. At party as a guest, I wouldn't say no, but I wouldn't drink it with a visitor at my home either. There are so many better Rums to choose from. But ot gets u drunk.

Irgendwie kommt man am Botucal Reserva Exclusiva dann doch nicht vorbei. Für 30-40 Euro ist er ein günstiger Rum und in Deutschland fast überall zu kaufen. Vorweg kann ich sagen das ich den Hype nicht verstehe. Sehr negativ ist, dass der Rum stark gezuckert ist - 44g/l.

In der Nase ist der Rum dezent mit viel Süße und Würze. Etwas Rauchnoten welche durchaus ansprechend sind machen aber Hoffnung auf mehr. Am Gaumen enttäuscht der Botucal dann doch. Viel Süße von dem beigefügten Zucker zerstören für mich die Aromen welche der Rum anbieten will. Etwas Karamel, Toffee und Rauch habe ich wahr genommen. Das meiste ist durch Zucker erzeugte Süße. Der Abgang ist, wie auch sonst, süß mit etwas Toffee und Würze. Der Rum ist nach kurzer Zeit verschwunden und über bleibt ein klebriger Geschmack und ein Film auf der Zunge der nicht wirklich Lust auf mehr macht.

Insgesamt ist der Rum einfach total überbewertet. Ich kann das nicht verstehen. Anscheinend ist für viele noch immer der hohe Grad an Süße entscheidend für einen guten Rum. Für das selbe Geld gibt es schon viele Rums die sehr viel mehr zu bieten haben. Mich hat er nur bestätigt das ich Rums mit Charakter und Aussagekraft suche und genießen möchte. Hier kann der Botucal gar nicht punkten. Auf einer Feier als Gast würde ich ihn nicht ablehnen, einem Besucher bei mir zu Hause aber auch nicht anbieten.

Delicate flavour lovely chocolate taste afterwards amazingly sweet on the rocks to mix with any mixer would be sacrilege. Very sweet dessert rum that's clearly dosed

But this did not make me a fanboy either. It is smooth with caramel taste. But to sweet even for me who likes sweeter rums. Pricewise it is 30-35 EUR. I'd not deny sipping it at a party but won't buy this again for my cabinet.

The nose is cream pie and cinnamon (a bit liquerish). It enters swift with a creamy nuance and ends with a touch of milk choccolate. Sacher cake. Whiskey soft feeling.
Easy to drink. Warm and not to much alcohol in your mouth.

Well balanced in taste for me. Pleasant aroma with a coconut finish. Sweetish. Very tasty.

Hey this is what rum is supposed to taste like. Tremendous flavor all the richness you would expect. Buy this, drink this. One of my favs.

Дата розлива: 25.01.2021г.
Выдержка до 12 лет в бочках ex-bourbon и ex-whisky.
В основе купажа 80% тяжёлого рома (pot still) и 20% лёгкого непрерывной перегонки (columns still).

Слово «botuca» в переводе означает «зелёные горы». Дистиллерия находится рядом с национальным парком Terepaima, в экологически чистой местности.
На бутылке изображен Дон Хуанчо – аристократ XIX века, коллекционер и почитатель рома. Но, возможно, это всего лишь легенда маркетологов.

Нос: сладость, сухофрукты, орехи, бурбонные ноты, дубовая терпкость, немного медицинских ароматов. Через час обилие сухофруктов и специй, ром можно легко спутать с хорошим коньяком.
Вкус: мягкий, сладкий, слегка танинный и табачный.
Финиш: средний, с лёгкой сладостью.

Итог: отличный ром, в компании с ним можно хорошо провести вечер.
