Diplomático / Botucal Mantuano

7,7:The nose of this rum is very typical. It is a work around caramel, with a well-burnt and dark tendency, lot s of tropical fruit-banana....Coffee and molasses are mixed in to create a dense and concentrated liquid. Then we oscillate between melted wood and notes of wet cardboard, before the pepper comes in to give it a little kick and freshness. But that's without counting on the vanilla which adds to the sweetness and the sugary sensation. After airing the cane has a chance to stick its head out again. It now appears with its straw and even a little bitter lime zest, all very candied and melted though. The woodiness is dusty, it's a roasted nuts at the end. 7,8:The palate is quite balanced and again very typical. There is an impression of sweetness which is balanced by the dryness of the roasted nuts. Then this palate becomes decidedly round and flattering, with notes of honey, molasses, coffee and light tobacco, slightlysmoky. It remains quite intense and not so sweet. Vanilla appears in touches, linking the wood and the sweetness, again tropical fruit-banana as a leader. 7,4:The finish is soft and rather discreet, it vanishes quite quickly.

Unfortunately no longer my cup of tea. It's now too weak bom ABV and too sweet for me. Corrected downwards

Drinking it neat, without ice. Fruity nose and strong woody taste. Warming without burning. Looooong taste. Great rum

Ein leicht bräunlicher Bronzeton im Glas. In der Nase eine leichte Süße und Schärfe, etwas fruchtig. Ein leicht süßer Geschmack, etwas bitter im ersten Abgang, später dann trocken. Der Nachklang ist recht lange und angenehm.

Its a good price worthy rum, but nothing more than that in my opinion. Heavy nosing of raisin, taste is a bit flat but enjoyable.

Schoko würzig orange, schwer

half scherp, niet speciaal

Primarily sweet on the nose. Vanilla, caramel and banana? Then rather flat in the mouth, sweet here too, vanilla and caramel, perhaps also some milk chocolate. The finish is short and flat with vanilla, a little sour and despite the 40% alcohol can be tasted.

Trochę się rozczarowałem bo aromat zapowiadał więcej. Bardzo orzechowy i od dawna nie czułem nigdzie tytoniu -mile zaskoczenie. Mimo wszystko mam wrażenie, że trunek jest nierówny. Czuję, że gdyby nie doslodzenie to byłby o wiele mniej pijany niż jest. Aromat: orzechy ziemne, karmel, torfie, rodzynki, orzechy laskowe, żurawina, dąb, tytoń, melasa, banany, figi Smak: lekko wodnisty, słodki, orzechy, rodzynki, ciepło, dąb, figi, jabłko, gruszka, mineralność, słodycz, przyprawy korzenne

Nothing special. Very light but fruity and sweet.

Of the diplomatic ones, the weakest. Sweet and quite simple, it drinks perfectly. I accompanied it with friends and grilled meat, typical of my country. That always raises the note. Salu! 🥃

Ein leichter fruchtiger Süßrum. In der Nase recht angenehme Vanille und Karamell. Am Gaumen kommen etwas Holz und Gewürze dazu. Ansich keine schlechte Wahl, zumal der Preis top ist. Trotzdem bevorzuge ich seinen großen Bruder, den Reserva Exclusiva.

I thought he would be really cute. But he is not at all. Very pleasant intense wood. Even reminds a little of guyana. No übertribene vanilla and caramel Like the 12 year old. Comes across very honest and authentic. Am positively surprised

An interesting venture, with a very subtle nose which hints at sweetness and honey, but part ways for a complex and more commanding flavour, that brings heat and spice, woody and charred flavours and finished with a long, tingling spicy burn. Not for everyone and probably not the ideal sipping rum but has its place on an enthusiasts bar shelf for more adventurous drinkers or mixologists.
