Diplomático / Botucal No. 2 Single Barbet Column Rum

On the nose, expect woody vanilla and caramel, followed by a sweet palate with chocolate and oak. Most find it an approachable, mildly complex sipper, ideal for fans of sweet Venezuelan styles.

    "Shopbesuch Rum Paradise Hamburg April 2025. Der nächste Botucal, allerdings kein wirklicher Unterschied zum vorherigen feststellbar. Vanille, Karamell und Holz in der Nase. Am Gaumen gesellt sich dann noch ein Hauch von Schokolade hinzu."

    "In my understanding this should showcase the ingredients in the Botucal Blend, but then why show of what is in part the reason you need to blend it so heavily. This really feels like a filler, think of grain whisky."

    "Ok no.2 here we go. Nose is a bit weird mostly wood/oak. Little bit of fruit, sort of dried figs and rest is weird synthetic smell kind of acidic. Taste again completely different than smell. Typical venezuelan rum with mostly vanilla, caramel (sweet) notes which are underlined by oak or barrel taste. Finish is medium to long one which is nice. Mostly woody harrelson in the finish. :P Same rating as no.1 for me. Retasting and pulling 1 point 👇"
