Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

A true sipper. Adequate and not overly spiced nose and a delicate tingle on the tongue and ridiculously smooth going down. My first review, and I could not be anything other than the best, I’ve had.

I have not tried it in a cocktail, but both neat and on the rocks it is exemplary. Very smooth, caramelly, great taste and smell, very good. Sweet, but not too much so. This will absolutely be a rebuy.

When I first started drinking aged rums, this was my early favorite. I really liked the flavor profile, which is unique, but I'm not able to describe it in words exactly. Its quite sweet, but has more character than other sweet rums like Zacapa 23, which are fairly one-dimensional in flavor. I'd read other reviews here where someone compared it to a liqueur, and I understand what they mean, but don't really agree. If you don't like sweet then this one isn't for you, the added sugar level is very high at 41g, but the flavor has a spiciness that I haven't found in any other rums, but I'm still a relative newby at this. Its also a bargain at about $35 and usually pretty easy to find.

I was very new to rum when I first tasted this, and the similar Diplomatico Seleccion de Familia, so my palate wasn't very discriminating, but to me they tasted almost the same. The Familia has a bit less sugar, but its still fairly sweet and costs $50 vs. $35, so when I finished them both off I bought this one again rather than the Familia. I need to go back and compare them again now that I've tasted other rum styles and see if I would prefer the Familia today.

This may not be the greatest and truest rum of all time, but it is sweet, complex , easy to find, and a lot better than other similarly available rums. i like it in mixed drinks, but is just as good for a sipper. It is very sweet.

After tasting over 30 rums, this one still remains my favourite.

I like a very soft taste and this one does just that.

If you like fruity but not a strong presence of any specific fruit, you'll love this. I have the strange feeling of this rum having just slightly more sugar than how I like it, but no, it isn't the case. The sugar content is just perfect, it's the fruity smells I am not used to in a rum. I am giving 9 points only because I know there exist even better rums.

This has become one of my favorite 'everyday' rum. Plenty of flavor and a great value.

A taste that won't disappoint anyone, it's not the best rum I've ever drunk, but you can't go wrong with this rum

Sweet with hints of vanilla, caramel, chocolate, banana, and a smooth alcoholic finish.
Really great for sipping.
Would be good for mixing too, though I think it's a shame not to sip it.

Pit sa to da, otazne je kolko je tam pridaneho cukru....tieto tmave rumy su vacsinou take presladene zbrndy....za tu cenu sa daju kupit aj kvalitnejsie rumy, ale ok, ochutnant to treba :)
