    Im April 2022 besuchte ich mit meinem Freund Enrico in Essen bei Cigarren Baydar & Sahin GmbH ein Rum-Tasting von Botucal. Der Brand Ambassador Peter S. hat uns toll durch den Abend geführt. Gute Zigarren und ein sehr schmackhaftes Buffet rundeten den tollen Abend ab. Seitdem weiß ich den Stoff von BOTUCAL sehr zu schätzen.

    Getting ready for a really tough marathon with friends! A little test of these famous vintage diplomaticos. Very surprisingly, they're really more fruity and well-balanced. Less dark, fatty and sweet than the basic ones. A good time, even if it's a bit simple and too straightforward to go above 8.

    A Diplomatico I tasted at a tasting at my parents place in 2021. First of the "year single vintage" from the company, I've tried. I sense a nose of coffee, and I found some notes of chocolate, vanilla and fruits. Good price to quality ratio, when it was released

    Tasted it together with my last glass from a 2004 and I think it’s slightly better than that one cause it’s not as sweet as the 2004 but on the other hand it’s also feels thinner. The fragrance is quite complex with clear barrel character, hints of muscovado sugar, raisins, arrack, marzipan, dark chocolate, orange and vanilla. In mouth and palate it’s also complex with some sweetness and clear barrel character, hints of raisins, muscovado sugar, orange, chocolate, arrack, nuts, cinnamon, Sherry and vanilla fudge. The finish is medium long and tastes more or less the same.
