The Botucal Reserva Exclusiva 12yo 40% 700ml is a premium rum that has earned numerous accolades for its spicy aroma and harmonious flavor profile. This rum, aged for over a decade, utilizes a "batch still production" method that imparts a distinctive and exclusive character. It is a meticulous blend of rums distilled using both pot stills and column stills, creating a complex and well-balanced flavor profile.
Originating from Licoreras Unidas S.A., a group of distilleries established in the 1950s in Venezuela, Botucal rum is celebrated for its traditional rum-making methods. These methods involve using both fermented molasses and sugarcane honey, and the rum is distilled in copper stills. The distillery, DUSA, produces up to eight million casks of rum each year.
The Botucal Reserva Exclusiva is a blend of rums, some of which undergo a second distillation in copper stills, while others are continuously distilled in a modern column still system. This results in a rum with a unique and recognizable flavor, making it a strong competitor among classic Caribbean rums.
Known as Diplomatico Rum in some countries, this rum is sold under the name Botucal in regions where the Diplomatico name is already in use. The name Botucal is derived from the indigenous word "Botuka", meaning "green hill", which refers to the hill in front of the DUSA distillery, part of the Terepaima National Park.
The Botucal Reserva Exclusiva is a complex blend of copper pot still rums aged for up to 12 years. It boasts a rich and well-balanced flavor profile, featuring notes of fruit cake, vanilla ice cream, cocoa, toffee, and sweet spices. It is currently one of the world's most awarded rums, exemplifying the pinnacle of Venezuelan rum craftsmanship.
