Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

A sweeter taste then others, but it’s one of must try

A nice sweetened and smooth rum. Some people say it isnt a rum, but it is... A really nice one, with hints of vanilla, banana, caramel.

Stáva sa z neho už masovka, ale v pomere cena/kvalita ho radím vysoko.

You always remember your first kiss. Especially when the girl is beautiful. Haven't drunk it for quite a while I am currently exploring less sweet rums. But the warmth and smoothness will be always remembered

Nose: Sweet, caramel, oak, banana. Moderate alcohol sting.
Palate: Very sweet, almost syrupy flavor. Vanilla and caramel, a little oak and some wintery spices (clove, cinnamon)
Tail: Moderate alcohol burn, remnants of the caramel flavor from the palate and a strong "rum" flavor. The rum flavor and alcohol burn stick on the tongue for a while.

Overall, this rum is too sweet and syrupy for me, and lacks the complexity underneath to support its sweetness. I'm not necessarily against rums with added sugar - in small amounts it can definitely enhance a rum's character - but I think that this rum is sweetened far more than it has to be. It might serve well as a dessert drink, similar to some liqueurs like amaretto.

Very smooth not a harsh taste at all. It has a nice Carmel taste.

Spicy and complex rum, with a balenced sweetness.
Overall very pleasent

I can see why this is so highly rated, it is smooth with a subtle sweetness. Easy to drink with a full backend. However, for me, I like a little more burn and bite in my sipping rums.

Good but expected more. Some of the other, cheaper Diplomatico have better flavour.

It's like classical music with wonderful instrumentation. Layers of notes some of them long delayed melting in to chords creating erotic harmonies. The music of Claudio Monteverdi comes to mind. Yes there are sweet fruit notes and oak and this and that but that is not enough to describe this gem. I wanted to say how I feel drinking it.
