Diplomático / Botucal No. 1 Single Batch Kettle Rum
Aromas of vanilla, caramel, and wood lead to a palate that is spicy, slightly alcoholic, and focuses on sweet notes. RumX tasters call it a solid, less sweet alternative to the classic, with a short finish but notable character.
Heathered vanilla, caramel and wood with gentle spicy warmth.

How does this rum taste?
- Vanilla and caramel sweetness
- Woody, oaky complexity
- Limited release character
Vanilla and caramel sweetness stand out on both nose and palate, enriched by woody undertones and a gentle touch of spice. The 47% pot-still character brings noticeable warmth, balanced by mellow cherry notes and subtle oak. Some tasters mention a brief finish and pronounced alcohol, but those who appreciate a drier, less sweet Diplomático experience find plenty of charm here. Worth exploring if you’re after a limited Venezuelan rum with both character and value.

"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."
