Diplomático Botucal Planas is a unique Venezuelan white rum known for its velvety texture and strong alcoholic kick. Distilled from molasses using pot and column stills, then aged for 6 years, it offers citrus, coconut, and spicy notes, coupled with some medicinal and alcoholic aromas. While some find it ideal for mixing, notably in daiquiris and fruit cocktails, others appreciate its smooth, botanical character neat. User reviews highlight the rum's pleasant, albeit subtle, tasting experience, suitable for both cocktails and casual sipping. It features a sharp, spice-forward profile with a surprising hint of butteriness. Although not overly sweet, some users perceive it as having an astringent, woody undertone, which adds to its versatility in mixology.

"This Diplomatico is not nearly as sweet as the DRE so it’s an easy choice to choose it before the DRE. The spices are soft and appears during the rather short finish."

"Nearly no nose to describe but what is there is delicate and subtle. The taste is complex, sharp and spicy, with an equally spicy hot finish. Pleasant but might be an acquired taste for some."
