Very smooth rum shared with family was a mistake has they nearly killed the bottle it's a very nice rum nice and smooth highly recommended

The nose is an intoxicating blend of ripe tropical fruits, with prominent notes of banana and strawberry jam. A subtle sweetness intertwines with hints of lime peel, licorice, and buttery biscuits, creating an intriguing and layered aroma.

Diplomatico Selección de Familia is a premium rum that showcases the Venezuelan distillery's passion and expertise. Matured in American oak barrels, previously used for bourbon and sherry, this spirit offers a complex and deep flavor profile. Rum enthusiasts seeking a high-quality spirit will be impressed.

8,8:On the nose there is vanilla, wood, caramel, hazelnut ice cream, nougat, spices, fruit, lime peel, grilled pineapple, pears, peaches, agricole, smoky, roasted, dry, red fruits, raspberries, pure sugar cane juice. Very complex and unctuous.
8,2:On the palate we find wood, caramel, spices, agricole smoke, is a bit briny, resinous, there are roasted hazelnuts, cocoa, tobacco, dried fruit, peaches, raisins, agricole, sugar cane, dry. Round and balanced.
8,2:The finish is long with sugar cane, is roasted, there is leather, nutmeg, walnuts, dried fruit, dryness.

Sweet, fruity.. but it seems too much fruity, like with some chemical addiings.. remains some sour cherry while in the mouth. Not bad for one purchase, but will not repeat it!

Ultra great, delicious and super complex 🙂👍!
9,2:On the nose, we are really attacked by this rum fresh and fruity aroma specter. Uauu. Super fruits, all types, from tropical, yellow, red, dried, citrus. From banana, mango, passion fruit, maracuja to yellow bourbon fruits with peach, red as cherry, then dried with prunes. It is a bit smoky, metallic, some nail polish, with roasted palate, burnt sugar that is more intense after airing. We can find herbal, floral/perfume notes. It is spicy with vanilla, baking spices, some pastry touch is there.
Airing brings out more roasted notes as caramelized roasted nuts, chocolate, becomes more woody which is toasted. Very round, balanced. At the end, more earthiness is found with peat, peanuts.
9,2:On the palate, it is delicious, syrupy with honey, oily, with lots of different fruits as banana, mango, maracuja, ripe pineapple, citrus, peaches and very spicy with warm spices. Quickly it becomes a bit dry and astringent with dried fruits as sultanas, the wood is toasted, there is minimal pepper bitterness. Some mint shows up. Roastedness is present with roasted nuts, burnt sugar. This rum is really full-bodied, complex, round and balanced. I love it as it is also a bit smoky and peaty.
9,1:The finish is long, round, elegant, warm, a bit dry and astringent with dried fruits, toasted oak and roasted with burnt sugar...

8,5:The nose of this rum brings us nougatine garnished with fatty nuts. Among them, peanut, almond, walnut with a light layer of varnish. The vanilla caramel and some sweet spices continue to fill the fibers of the wood, giving it a definitively melting side.Aeration gives us more roasted side with iodized, smoky/tobacco, resinous, even briny notes, then herbal notes and very ripe exotic fruits, whose fermentation releases a certain acidity with some orange peel. These fruits become thicker, dried and sweeter, complementing pastry notes in the end.
8,5:The palate is perfectly balanced between the two facets from on the nose, but also from the point of the power of the attack. The heat is delightful and quite gourmand. The very ripe exotic and red fruits give way to oily citrus peels, which feed on sweet spices, candied roasted nuts along the way.There are also some medicinal, metallic, briny notes and finally milk chocolate .
8,2:The finish is fruity, syrupy as pastry-like, buttery, with cherry pits and raisins, dry, the wood is toasted, the chocolate is dark now.

Vanilla and roast. Cinnamon, maybe nutmeg. I don't love spiced rum but this isn't bad. Clear golden pour.

Plum and raspberry. Interesting flavour for a rum. Dark purple pour, clear. Sweet finish with some booze.

Nut, caramel, apricot. Lots of booze in the finish light golden pour. Booze burn is real here. Nut flavour is subtle.

Cane sugar, peach skin and plenty of oak. Wood really comes out. Light golden colour. Booze strong in the finish.

Not bad for a white rum, which I don't usually love. Some honey then some tin. A little peanut or something nutty. Clear water like pour. Flight at distillery

Got a sample of this remarkable rum some months ago from Andy and Angel as a gift. Many thanks for that. I saved it to Black Tot Day and it was well worth waiting for.
Black Tot Last Consignment is a piece of liquid history. It was bottled from antique stone flagons containing the last stocks of Royal Navy Rum which laid untouched for over four decades.
It’s really an historical blend that never can be recreated.
The nose is fruity and nutty with aromas of chocolate, banana, licorice and some sweetness.
At the palate it’s fruity, oaky and sweet with flavors of coffee, cacao, leather, tobacco and cassis.
The finish is very long, fruity and woody with flavors of leather and tobacco.
Overall an excellent and remarkable navy rum that I’m very happy to got the opportunity to taste.
Picture: My emptied sample and poured glass out in the Stockholm archipelago.

First of all. Know that it is not a rum. It's a rum based spirit. Knowing that, it's just deciding if you like thé Taste or not. Nose gives something nutty like hazelnut and chocolate, a bit vanilla Very sweet. Texture is ticker. You know there's Sugar added. I like thé Taste. No Taste of rum or rum you normally drink. Bit I think it's good. It goes back to the nutty chocolate caramel vibe. I like it.

Full-bodied rum, very sweet (I think there is added sugar), but with interesting flavors. Easy rum for newcomers, definitely recommended, though, has become extremely popular and you might get it overpriced.

Kvůli ceně jsem čekal poněkud lepší chuť, hodně patrné jsou ořechy a ovoce, dojezd byl trochu drsnější.

Very good value
Works well mixed and can sip neat

I've not been a fan of Zacapa in the past, but this one really impressed me.

This is one of my favorite rums to sit and sip. It's definitely one of my go-tos. Very flavorful without being overly sweet.

Definitely a change from the sweeter rums I normally drink. This rum has bold flavors of oak, molasses,and pear.

At 96 proof, this rum is exceptionally smooth. It is dry compared to most and the sweetness is not viscous. I’d highly recommend this for the collection of a rum enthusiast when the opportunity to grab a bottle comes.

Certainly smoother than the canne Bleu I just had. Dark copper pour. Rose water, dried apricot. Burns a little on the finish. Ok.

Plenty of coconut, some icing sugar. A little perfume, potpourri. Clear white. Not super smooth, burn on the finish.

Honey and a little coffee, like some others have said. A hint of peat, maybe some smoke. Apricot. Like this a lot.

In the bottle tasted on 8-3-24. Gifted bottle thanks to Jeff K. Pours a light brown golden color. Aroma of a malted milk chocolate milkshake. Big chocolate taste. Maple syrup and hazelnuts. Mild tingle to the finish. Thin in body for so much sweetness.
