- Prijemne kořeněná chuť
- Guter, gefälliger Ron
- Vanille und Karamell in der Nase
Diplomático / Botucal No. 1 Single Batch Kettle Rum leans heavily into woody, vanilla, and caramel notes—woody right from the nose, with caramel and vanilla surfacing all the way through. A few pick up cherry and some nuttiness; "Heavy oak, nuts, slight fennel"—Kieron Wood. Others mention a dichotomy between a fruity, fresh nose and a sweet, vanilla-heavy palate, as rum_sk notes: "nose is completely different than the taste." Several reviews remark on a notable alcohol presence, and the short, gentle finish crops up more than once. The overall tone points to an undemanding, at-times-spicy pour that some find almost too subtle, but few find offensive.

"Better than the classic Diplomat."
"Shopbesuch Rum Paradise Hamburg April 2025. Als nächstes ein Botucal. Ist auch ein etwas süßerer Rum. Vanille und Karamell in der Nase, aber auch etwas Holz ist erkennbar. Am Gaumen kommt dann noch ein Hauch von Schokolade hinzu."
"Not worth the price for me. But I'm a bit of a sucker when it comes to Botucal anyway"
"Good, pleasing ron. Not very sweet. Certainly a good accompaniment to a cigar. There are better, but also much worse."
