Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

Basic, decent quality rum worth introducing to people who have only encountered lesser rums in mixed drinks. Very sweet with hint of banana

Excellent rum, I keep exploring but keeping coming back to this one. Just bought two bottles today. I love it in my classic daiquiris and straight up solo sippin.

Very nice Venezuelan rum, a step up from the Mantuano. Better balanced. Light natural sweetness. Would revisit.

8:On the nose, first of all, there is a lot of sweetness. The caramel and vanilla complete each other with added tropical fruits, toasted wood and roasted coconut, dried red fruits. A light aroma of cinnamon is also noticed.Airing adds coffee, grapes at first, tiramisu with cookies after and at last a note of a Violet.👌
8:On the palate, it's really smooth. Here too the aromas of caramel and vanilla dominate, then a there is a little peppery note that completes the profile, certainly tropical fruits, dried fruits and roasted/woody taste, a bit after a while bitterness at midpalate ruins great roundedness from the beginning. Otherwise still 👍.
7,5:The finish is quite long and is divided between aromas of caramel, honey and vanilla, a wisp of drieness is felt.
Great sipper, smooth, gentle and of course, sweet. Nice price /performance. Great for an entry level. Probably the greatest rum for all kind of drinkers....No comment needed any longer... 👌

This was the first sipping rum that I tasted and it set me on the journey of amazing rums, so it holds a special place for me. I would definitely recommend it to beginners, but as my taste developed, it now tastes too sweet and not completely developed.

Overall, a nice rum. Really great with coconut water. Drinks like a vacation in a glass.

Sweet and Smith.A really delicous rhum. Could really recommend it.

I have tried many Rums, and this one is a good all around sipper, It was also priced at about 30 + dollars. Would recommend to people who have not tried rums as sippers. Poor it over 1-3 ice cubes. Has a good balance and enough sweetness. It makes a great daiquiri too. Fresh 1/2 to 3/4 oz lime juice, 1 & 1/2 to 2 oz of rum, one teaspoon simple syrup, shake over ice and strain.

If this rum was $10 less it would be perfect. People are complaining about it being overly sweet which is a fair criticism however just because something is sweet doesn't mean it can't taste good. I do agree it is pretty sweet for the price you pay though

Not my favorite but available in all restaurants .
