Botucal Mantuano

Smells good. Burns a bit. Taste is ok, but not brilliant

Botucal Mantuano looks lika pale shadow of brilliant Botucal Reserva Exclusiva. Of course it's tasty and pleasant but it's not even close to all advantages of Reserva Exclusiva. Maybe you like it this one will be your first Botucal rum.

Value for money is just out of this world!
It's sweet, mild, great palate cleanser for cigar tasting. Not overpowering at all.
I prefer Mantuano over rums which costs 2-3 times more. Surprised how not popular it is.
Just get it.
10/10

Ron sencillo, facil de beber, un escalon por debajo del botucal reserva exclusiva

Rum is only suitable for drinks. Very alcoholic taste, spicy, unpleasant. For half its price, we get a similar one

Smokey aroma and taste of a light dark chocolate. A bit harsh at the end but in a pleasent way

Zapach: Kawa, prażone orzechy, nuty winne, dalej dębina, suszone owoce (śliwki, rodzynki, daktyle)

Smak: Palony karmel, wiśnie w czekoladzie, cynamon, orzech włoski, dębina, palony karmel

Ciekawe jest to że rum dojrzewał w beczkach po whisky single malt oraz burbonach. Czuć iż jest to rum złożony, dość przyjemny w smaku oraz ciekawie skomplikowany - warto spróbować jeżeli nasze doświadczenie zakończyło się na podstawowych bacardi lub captain morgan. Rum również jest młody oraz narowisty w smaku wspomagany przez mocne nuty przypalonego karmelu.

OCENA 73/100

It took me some time to decide how to rate this Diplomatico or Botucal (name it as you want). It sweet, there's some vanilia, carmel. Both in aroma and taste, but quite flat or subtle - to be honest I really don't know. There's a little bit of wood in the smell... But that's it. Nothing special, nothing unusual. For this price (20€) I would say: acceptable

Älterer Bruder in allem ein wenig besser. Ich würde den nicht mehr trinken.

The Botucal rums are some of my favorites, but many of them are kind of the same. Montuano has a good caramelize flavor to it and pretty smooth, but for me it is very similar to Botucal reserva.

In my opinion, Botucal Reserva has a little more taste profile than Montuano. I recommend to sip it slowly to really enjoy it…
