Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

Trip to Publix liqour store after reading the ratings brought the bottle home. Wow! Nice deep color to match it's deep full and smooth flavor! Personally, a new contender for favorite!

This is truly a beautiful rum. It punches way above its weight for the price. I like it better than Zacapa. Extremely Smooth with some sweet notes as well

Eccellente ron di scuola spagnola, amabile, rotondo e delicato

excellent rum for the price. it is pretty sweet for my taste but the complexity is very nice. for about 40 euros a bottle is a rum that i will definitely buy again.

Je trouve ce produit agréable à boire, je le dis d'entrée.
Cependant, quand on décide d'ouvrir son placard à rhums, pour se faire une dégustation digestive...on n'y va pas pour prendre le dessert.

Rhum trop facile, trop simple, manque de profondeur, manque de "maturité" dans l'esprit. Un rhum pour jeune homme, ayant des goûts portés sur le sucre plutôt que sur le vieillissement.

Dark amber and syrupy I am new to rum but it's hard to believe it has 40% alcohol when it is so smooth.

Very good according to price, very popular in Czech republic, but I like Santos Dumont or A.H.Riise more

Smooth and sweet, without being insipid. This is the sipping rum I keep coming back to. If it suffers anywhere it on the sweet side, but I find it’s complex enough , with caramel and vanilla notes, to more than make it all work.

My fave

Nose: honey syrup, floral, toffee, faint citrus.
Taste: heavy honey caramel sweetness, creamy mouthfeel, floral, vanilla, tiny bit of spice.
Finish: Sugary smooth and creamy (see glycerol) with hint of oak.
Overall: Ok dessert sipper, it is heavily sugared and the heavy sweetness does hide a lot of aromas for example the oak is not pronounced at all because the sugar overpowers it and probably lot of other aromas are lost because the heavy sugar.
Probably altered with additives like glycerol too so it is not for the purists but in my opinion this rum is decent enough as a sweet commercial fake "dessert rum" to not make
me completely hate it.
But if you are passionate about getting to know real genuine rum, dont even bother.

This is definetely one of my favorite rums. Very sweet and tasty. You can feel the oak and caramel flavor on the nose and taste. You can see that there is a lot of sugar in it because it stays on the glass. Maybe too much sugar ? It is still one of my favorites and definitely to sip neat without ice or soft drink.
