    "This rum apparently has a higher proportion of pot still distillate than the two standard bottlings, however, the harmonious profile of this Spanish is masked by the high dosage. Too bad."

    "The nose is pleasant and suggests a sweetened product alongside caramel, vanilla, wood and tobacco. On the palate, the sweetness is confirmed by honey, brown sugar and raisins and is complemented by the impressions from the nose. Well chosen drinking strength. The finish is sweet, spicy and woody with aromas of caramel, vanilla and some herbs, but slightly watered down. Still worth a recommendation."

    "This Botucal is too sweet for me, although the 43% is a good fit. I had expected a little more. As I've already tried a few Botucals, I would prefer the Botucal #3 from the series, which has been my favorite so far."

    "Molasses, roasted notes, raisin, honey and very very smooth. Less sweet than the reserva exclusiva but still on the sweeter side. Also more expensive."
