Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

I was given this as a birthday present - very happy to say the least.

It is balanced and smooth with a slight burn on the initial sip, but it quickly dissipates.

Rich tones of caramel and chocolate.

I love maple syrup but I dont want my sipping rum to taste like it.

There are times that you have to turn your brain off and just bow to truth... this is one of the most enjoyable liquids one could ever imbibe.

Is it super sweet? Sure, so is cotton candy
Is sugar added? Sure, it's also added to lemonade, too.
Is it affordable? Sure, so are funnel cakes.

And life is all the better because of them.

Nose - Black Currant, Nutmeg, Burnt Rubber
Palate - Cherry, Brown Sugar, Licorice, Toffee

Enjoy this one and remember, traveling carnivals exist for a reason.

I like sweet rums and this is definitely one. I love the subtle flavor in the background that isn’t overpowering, I probably would have rated it higher if it was more pronounced; but that’s a personal preference. It’s affordable and smooth, a great introduction to rum or something to keep on hand that will please many folks.

A bargain. A good beginner's rum.

Nose not too heavy. But also not too sweet. Caramel and a touch of oak.

Nice and smooth when it comes to taste. Very drinkable and likeable. Very friendly on the palet.

So good all the way. Aroma, taste, aftertaste... almost perfect to me. Rich toffee and caramel aftertaste. The price is also affordable.

Really smooth, easy to taste , you can enjoy the flavour in your mouth

Sweet, but not so, very smooth, pleasant to sipping with one ice cube.

As soon as I opened it I could smell turpentine. This is absolutely a mixer at best.

As a rum rookie, having only had Captain Morgan, I found the sweetness with a little burn on the finish very welcoming. I got toffee and vanilla notes.
