Diplomatico Mantuano

Nice spicy rum which can be used perfectly pure as in a mix. I drunk it pure and that was nice.

Mladší bratr Reservy, slušný poměr cena/výkon. Dělá čest rodině, ideální pro nenáročnou společnost.

rum for every occasion, more mundane, but a safe bet

Good rum, only had a taster. Nothing against it but not one I really will be searching for neither.

Not nearly as smooth as the reserva exclusava but still has the sweetness that most Diplamatico rums are known for. I enjoyed best with a splash of cola.

This is good rum for the money, makes a quality mixer.

This is quite easy and drinkable rum with strong alcoholic smell. The taste is ok but a bit sour in my opinion.

Vanillé et saveurs de sous bois. Agréable et facile à boire

The first thing I noticed about this rum was the beautiful nose. It really does smell better than most rums - rich and woody with the permeating wonder of really classical molasses. The taste did not disappoint. This is certainly better than the Reserva that it replaced, but not as sumptuous as the Reserva Exclusiva. Whether you prefer this one to the Exclusiva or not depends how you like your rum. This is certainly more classical. The Exclusiva is sweeter (added sugar), richer and more lushly rich. I'm not sure that makes the Exclusiva better for everyone. I'd say I'd prefer to drink this one more regularly and the Exclusiva on more special occasions or when I wanted to round off an evening. I'd describe them both as good sipping rums, but without doubt the Exclusiva has the edge there. You can tell the family connection, but they are rather different. Frankly, I want both in my cabinet.

Good rum. I quite enjoyed it. I do like Diplomatico reserva. Mantuano is little less complex but still very good.
