Diplomatico Mantuano

Brilliant rum! Awesome fruitful taste without any smoke or leather. Ideally balanced - fantastic for its price!

The comparison with his big brothers from the same brand is hard. It is not a bad Rum, but once you tasted the ranks up, you can't go back down.

Semisweet rum with aroma of oak, smoke and dry fruits (plums). In taste is then vanilla also.

Amber color, aroma of vanilla and oak, smooth finish. This rum taste like top shelf for a fraction of the price.

I really like Exclusiva which is $60 where I live, since Mantuano is $40 I wanted to see if the extra $20 is worth it. It's definitely worth the extra $$ for Reserva Exclusiva. But this rum is pretty good for the price. El Dorado 12 is also $40 so I'd rather get that next time.

Color - Amber
Nose - I get cherry and coffee
Taste - Vanella and cherry, I get a little bit of rasins too

As a fan of sweet rum i would classified this one as the third one in my preferences.

Great go to mixing rum! Better than most! Can’t complain with the price !

My review might be heavily influenced by the local price (around 20 eur in Slovakia), but Mantuano became my main go-to rum for easy drinking and sharing, especially with not experienced rum drinkers. It is not that as artificially sweet as Reserva Exclusiva, but it's mostly a good thing! It may lose a little bit of smoothness because of that, but it's compensated by fresher taste. Ofcourse, this is not overly complex rum, but it doesn't matter. It's on the sweet side, still relatively smooth with very little heat. An absolute champ in price/quality ratio!

Dry smell, very much oak and spice in the flavour.
Best suited as a spicy mixer,

Très surpris mais agréablement par ce rhum d'assemblage. On ressent toute la tipicité des régions dont les cannes à sucre sont originaires. Très doux mais moins sucré que le Reserva !
