Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

Modest, quite light, some smokey notes develop when let to breathe for a while.

Very liqueur like, sweet to the point of being distracting. Getting close to a ready-made old fashioned, almost needs water... The most well known offender of added sugar in rum, 40g/l(?).

Altogether its still a good rum, It does best as an unassuming evening sip.

However, I deduct a few points for the damage it, and other rums like it, have done to the the image of rum. Unlabeled additives prevent an otherwise top tier spirit from the recognition it deserves.

Tento veľmi kvalitný "dezertny" rum s lahodnou a sladkou chuťou je vhodný a hlavne obľúbený aj u žien.
Pre mňa až trochu prisladka chuť, vôňa ktorá oponuje ženám trochu u mňa zráža hodnotenie jedného z najkvalitnejších rumov v danej kategórii. Preto hodnotím 8.

Such a complexity and brilliance...Oh Lord! If a Little Bit less sweet, I would build it a Tempel. But still the best Rum for this price. Eating 5 Star Rums high price rums for breakfest. Go Diplomatico, Go!

Caramel, strong vanilla, cinnamon, bananas and brown sugar. It has been enhanced with insane amounts of added sugar.

This is a great rum, the one on the sweeter side, however I like to enjoy it anytime. The price is great. My favourite rum when introducing friends to a world of "better" rums... either this one or Zacapa 23

Facile à boire. Bourré de glycol. C'est bon à boire dans les bars quand t'es déjà carpette. Ceux qui le notent à 10 ne connaissent rien au rhum. Définitivement le dernier de mon classement

Nose : sugar, fudge, cheap rum, cough syrup.
Taste : sugar, fudge, cheap rum, cough syrup. Very un-natural (who wrote about oak, vanilla or refined aromas? Where is it ??)
Finish : what ? Ah yes, some cheap candy aftertaste. And the need to drink a large glass of water after all that cloying , palate-drying sugar.

Worst than I thought. Very disappointed. It is not even a good flavoured rum liqueur.

This beverage dos not taste like an aged rum by any way. Everyone has the right to drink and enjoy it , I have no problem with that but please, please, stop to call it a rum !!!

Nez : sucre, caramel, alcool type rhum de base pour les gâteaux, sirop pour la toux (plus précisément : broncorhinol, pour les français!)
En bouche : pareil. Ecoeurant et artificiel. Qui a parlé de boisé ou de vanille, ils sont passés où ???
Final : arrière goût bizarre comme après un bonbon. Envie immédiate de boire un grand verre d'eau après tout ce sucre écœurant.

C'est bien pire que ce qu'on m'avait décrit. Une mauvaise blague, à peine un rhum arrangé, on pourrait peut être appeler ça "liqueur à base de rhum" ?
Cette boisson n'a en aucune manière le moindre point commun avec un vieux rhum. Chacun a le droit d'aimer ça, aucun problème... mais s'il vous plait arrêtez de dire que vous aimez le rhum, ça n'en est pas.

This was my first sipper and is from that day my reference.

If a bottle is better then this then it gets in to the cabinet, if not better than it's not worth it.

Classic!

Amazing caramel nose, could smell this stuff all day. Taste is overwhelming brown sugar. It's sweet but not overpowering with burnt caramel slight short nice finish. Easy to sip on, maybe a little too sweet for more than 1 glass and not hugely complex - a definite recommend for new raters.

Incredible rum for this price. Realy amazing 12 years elixir. At least as good as one twice older. the best compromise price/ taste that i ever seen. However too much syrop taste to be in my top 3.
