Diplomatico Reserva

It's good enough to sip, but lacks much of the sweetness and great flavors of the more expensive Exclusiva. I'll spring for the Exclusiva if I'm going to have neat rum.

Alternativa interessante ai rum più commerciali.
Rapporto Q/P non troppo favorevole, nella stessa fascia di prezzo si trova di molto meglio.

When sipping the "reserva exclusiva" is better, just smoother, but when mixing with coke this one is just as good imo and almost half the price. Paid €20,-
7.5/10

Good caramel and vanilla flavors. A bit edgy to be considered as a sipping rum but I don't there's a sipping rum at this price point. It's a good mixing rum though.

Leider kommt dieser rum bei weitem nicht an seinen grossen Bruder Reserva Exclusiva heran :-(

This is a great mixer! Really pretty good. We didnt enjoy sipping on it at all.

I'm revising this one. Will give more details shortly

Really amazed at the low score average here!
For me this is the ultimate bang for buck Rum. Awesome taste, for a great price. (Not even touching the €25 mark)

The aroma is great, the taste and after taste even better.

I read some of the comments, just don't mix it with Coke. (A dark and cloudy on the other hand 😎)

Standing in the shade of his older and so much more popular brother... Never really liked it maybe beacause i always compare it to 12 in my head.

I have issues enjoying Reserva, I spend a lot of time in France where I can buy it for €23 +tax, great value. However, I can get the Exclusiva for €26 so really the Reserva hardly ever gets picked up, whereas I've gone through countless bottles of Exclusiva.
Anyway, this rum is still great. It has all the flavours of its big brother, just turned down a bit with the burn turned up.
