A favourite of mine to take the edge off, drink straight and over ice, do not ruin this with a mixer. A bit stronger and stiffer compared to a mount gay XO or Zacapa but full of flavour. Odes of tropical fruit and Vanilla ooze from this rum making it great for straight drinking. If I were to have to suggest a mixer I’d maybe go with a smoky Coca Cola at best.

Good taste, stylish bottle. The best in its price range.
One of my Favs. This is a smooth well balance flavour that finishes very smooth. Ice is optional

Scent is forcefully smoky and oldish. Taste has an slightly upfront sweetnes which gets stronger to the end), but also some liquerish/boozy notes in the middle, strong herbal flavour towards the end. Color is mahonagy and strong
Easily distinguishable levels, nice to drink, but no-go for me, too matte on the flavours and too herbal for my taste. But I can recommend if you want to test something a bit different :)
Great value for the money! Smooth and reasonably good

Perfect rum for sipping. It has a very sweet character.

Stylish bottle contains golden brown liquid with moderate thickness.
Sweet aroma with hints of molasses and brown sugar, caramel and milk, very similar to creme brulee, which is continued by fruits like banana and orange. Sweet beginning is accompanied by delicate woody and smoky notes. The smell is absolutely free from any alcoholic hints. After around 20 minutes the aroma contains hints of cane (but not fermented like in the case of agricole).
Sugary and spicy first sip with some nutmeg taste and dried fruits. Seems water-dilluted but I can feel some milky notes followed by chocolate with thick sugary sweetness. At some point the initial mouth sensation gets covered by woody finish and the aftertaste is composed of chocolate, wood and leather.
It's a sweet one, not too complex but not bad after all.

Just figure out why its not Diplomatico in Germany...and why they need to call this nice, full, legendary rum Botucal. Funny right ?
My favourite rum until now. My favourite rum until now.

It's a dark and quite sweet rum made to please the palates of beginners and rum lovers alike. I can imagine that this ron may serve as a good introduction for those, who are used to drink Cuba libre and want to try a sipping rum for their first time. But also for the seasoned rum drinker it can serve as a pleasant change if you're in the mood for a sweeter rum, that isn't spiced but still has a nice full aroma and color of an aged molasses rum. However, for some it may be a bit too sweet and maybe not too complex in aroma.
Altogether Botucal Reserva Exclusiva it's a nice dark ron with sweet taste and pleasant aroma, nice and easy to drink neat.
