Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

This rum wants to sit on the tongue and evaporate, spreading flavor throughout. Some slight burn when swallowed, but not too much.

Smooth and soft. Not much nose action but a smooth taste with little afterburn. Not too sweet and not much layers in the taste. But for a nice and smooth sipping rum it’s perfect.

I bought this rum to add to my arsenal. It goes down easy and mixes well with pineapple or orange juice.

Rather sweet and syrupy, which I understand is due to added dosage. That said, a serviceable rum if you know what you’re getting into, inexpensive, and fairly common, so it’s a great bottle for “getting into rum” and won’t be off putting for folks who don’t usually like rum. Nice after a meal as a dessert or on the rocks as a “rum and coke”, though no coke is necessary 😉

I "discovered" this one a couple of years ago and am blown away of how great this tastes (as even a sipper!) for the price!

IF you have not tried this, run and get it NOW! The good news too, is it is now available at many, many resort destinations, so you can get it "on the road".

I literally have no other rums I have tasted in this $40 US to $80 US price range better than this! I ALWAYS have it at home, and typically the bottle is drained before anything else, it is THAT GOOD!

I recently brought it to a party loaded with the typical Scotch/whiskey drinkers and told them to try this, and even they loved it!!

Definitely a must try and/or keeper in your rum bar!

great depth in flavor smooth finish good value for money

Buon rum, è stato uno dei miei preferiti per molto tempo. Lo bevo da una decina di anni ma ho notato che non è più buono come agli inizi.
L'aroma è decisamente dolce, caramellato, molto olioso, ma non disgusta mai. Ottimo da solo (come dovrebbe essere bevuto), io l’ho provato un paio di volte anche nel mojito e sono stati i piú buoni che io abbia mai assaggiato.
Lo abbino volentieri con il cioccolato fondente salato che ne contrasta la dolcezza.
Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo anche se, ripeto, non è più quello di una volta.

I think this is just a personal preference because there are so many great reviews, but for me it has a spice I didn’t care for. I tried it on the rocks, and on the rocks with lime. Both tries didn’t work out for me.

A bit more syrupy texture (a bit like the Legendario Elixir) that may throw off some people.

I do enjoy this one on the rocks.

I like it in a rom and Coke. One of my go to for that drink.
