Chocolate, raisins and warm baking spice lead here, with the sherry finish coming through clearly and a swirl of orange and candied fig underneath. Members call it more complex and less sweet than the standard Botucal, with roasted, spicy depth that pairs beautifully with a cigar. Still on the sweet side, but the 43% keeps it from getting cloying.

Unmistakably Botucal, but with extra citrus notes and more complex as well as less sweet.

7.7/10

Have had this one for a while together with three other of the single vintages and this is the first one I open. I think it has a nuanced, complex and a elegant taste of almonds, nuts, chocolate, yellow fruits such as orange, arrack and with a hint of candied figs. The Sherry finish is also clearly recognizable. The finish is quite long. Unfortunately I think it’s a little too sweet even though the ABV of 43% balance the sweetness to a certain grade.

7.9/10

This is a very well balanced rum from the single vintage releases. I have almost all of these vintages and I like them a lot. Like the others, this one is lightly sweet, but not as sweet as the 2005 version. The nose is wonderful and the palate is well balanced between sweet and bitterness and spices.

Pleasant Diplomatico without too dominant sweetness. Beautiful spice and roasted flavors. Fits the balance wonderfully to the cigar.
