The Botucal Mantuano is an exquisite 8-year-old Venezuelan rum, meticulously crafted with expertise at the renowned Destilerias Unidas S. A. distillery. This rum is a harmonious blend of flavors, distilled from molasses using both Pot Still and Column Still methods, resulting in a 40% ABV spirit that is both smooth and distinctive.
The Botucal Mantuano delights the senses with an alluring aroma of caramel, woody nuances, vanilla, and a hint of fruity sweetness. When savored, it reveals prominent flavors of vanilla, woody undertones, sweet notes, caramel, and oak, creating a satisfying and memorable tasting experience. It strikes a perfect balance by not being overly sweet, thus retaining a sense of authenticity that appeals to true rum enthusiasts.
Often marketed as a "rum for the nobleman" due to its Spanish product name, Botucal Mantuano exudes a certain level of luxury without being overly pretentious. This exceptional rum is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of DUSA, known for their refined blends of column still and pot still rums.
A worthy successor to the Botucal Reserva, the Mantuano is part of the Traditional Range and is a popular classic. It pays tribute to Don Juancho, a noble gentleman of 18th century Venezuela whose face graces the bottle's elegant label. The Botucal Mantuano is composed of 40% heavy distillates (Pot Still), which give the spirit its body and structure, while 60% lighter and medium-weight distillates (Column/Batch Kettle) provide the perfect balance. After aging for up to eight years in former Bourbon and Single Malt casks, it develops its characteristic flavor profile.

The Botucal Mantuano has been met with positive reviews, with many appreciating its balanced sweetness and robust woody notes. Reviewers note that it is less sweet than the Reserva Exclusiva, making it a more authentic and pleasant choice for those who find overly sweet rums less appealing. The nose is subtle, with hints of cherry, bubble gum, and chocolate caramel. On the palate, wood, fruit, and caramel dominate. It has a short to medium finish with pleasant fruity and woody tones. It is considered a good value and a versatile rum that works well both as a sipper and in cocktails.
