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…

В аромате - карамель, сухофрукты и дерево. Аромат насыщенный, но, в то же время, мягкий. Вкус приятный, с доминирующей карамелью, более резкий, чем Reserva Exclusiva, спиртуозность сильнее. Послевкусие, к сожалению, короткое и жестковатое, но, в целом, приятное. Хороший ром без затей.

Aroma: caramel, dried fruits and oak - rich and smooth. Taste is nice, caramel dominates, but it's more rough than Reserva Exclusiva - spirit bitterness is stronger. Aftertaste is, unfortunately, short and harsh, but still nice overall. A good simple rum.

One of the rums that I always have in my home. Great for nipping on a regular evening

The little brother of the Botucal Reserva is less sweet and exudes a nice aroma in the glass.
I would prefer the older brother Reserva Exclusiva. But if Reserva Exclusiva is too sweet for you, you should try the Mantuano. It has also the same profile, but it's a littbe bit harsh and need much more time in the glas.

The taste is dark with caramel, dry fruits and ripe banana. It's darker than RE and less sweet.
I don't liked it first, but after some months of evaporation I think it's good for the price.
Just let some oxygen in the bottle and close it again, after some months it will be much better.
I would rate my bottle after four mounths of evaporation with 66 points.

Smell: caramel, banana, vanilla, burned sugar, dried fruits, wood
Taste: some caramel, banana, vanilla, dry fruits, wood and earth, spice.
Aftertaste: Tannins, after that fruity aromas (dry fruits).

Sweetness: 2.5/5
Spice: 2.5/5
Fruit: 2.5/5
Mildness: 3.5/5
Value (24€): 2.5/5

Da ich bisher nur den Reserva Exclusiva kannte, hatte ich nicht gedacht, dass der Mantuano nur ansatzweise an den „großen Bruder“ herankommen könnte. Natürlich nicht so intensiv im Aroma, aber ein schöner Rum.

I tried this rum in Germany where the Diplomatico is called Botucal. Here you can find this rum for cheap and it tastes great. It seems like a slightly less refined version of the Reserva Exclusiva, with the same sweetness and taste. I highly recommend it if you want a good rum for a cheaper price or you don't find others. Goes well with chocolate

A decent rum but absolutely not comparable with the reserva exclusiva.
