90% awards of this rum is for the label and bottle design and it's more a rum liqueur than a rum.
At first, the rum stands out positively: vanilla, berries, no alcohol in the taste, extreamly smooth.
However, every sip removes the thought of drinking a rum.
It is also becoming more and more intrusive. There is nothing rum-like about it.

Definitely good rum liqueur. For people who don't know rum, it's definitely impressive.
Too artificial for rum lovers. If you love sugary and very sweet liqueur a rating of 9 would also be appropriate.

Sweetness: 4/5
Fruit: 3/5

It's rather sweet rum (not too much) with a fruity taste that is very good for 1 - 2 glasses but lacks that kind of quality of being different by every sip. You cannot really compare it to other rums because it's just very different. Makes you think whether the reviews stating that it's fake might be true..

Agree with all reviews, it ain't rum for me. I gave it a 3 because of the marketing and branding, that DP does well. But its a bit of a scam. Though the regular malibu or red bull consumer may find DP the best rum there is and that's unfortunate - i believe - to the spirit of rum.

I don't know what to think about this one. More a liqueur than a rhum. This one goes on a list alongside Bumbu rum ,legendario 7 years or diplomatico reserva exclusiva

Aroma of that rum is marvelous. Sweet,vanilla, cherry. You will recognize it always. If you like sweet rums that's something for you. Ok - taste is not fantastic...but....that aroma make everything.

Definetly a sweeter rum. Descriptions all talk about vanilla and orange, but I got a strong pineapple flavor. I did not like this for sipping, but it makes an incredible daquiri
