Diplomático No. 2 Single Barbet Column Rum
Reliable sweet Venezuelan column rum with vanilla, caramel and woody notes. Medium finish and 47% ABV give more presence than standard Botucal, though some find it faint or a bit rough.
Those who enjoy sweet Venezuelan rums like standard Botucal and want a slightly stronger, more wood-driven option without jumping into funky or super-complex territory.

How does Diplomático No. 2 Single Barbet Column Rum taste?
Sweet, woody Botucal side-step
If you like classic Botucal but wish it had a touch more strength and oak, this is an easy side-step—just know it stays sweet and relatively simple.
Drinkers who dislike sweetness, expect big complexity at this price, or are sensitive to a bit of alcohol bite and synthetic notes in the finish.

Store visit Rum Paradise Hamburg April 2025. The next Botucal, but no real difference to the previous one. Vanilla, caramel and wood on the nose. A hint of chocolate is added on the palate.
Auto-translatedPhew, really nasty finish. Hardly drinkable.
Auto-translatedIn 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 👇
