Diplomatico Ambassador Selection

Smell: notes of wood, vanilla, roasted nuts
Taste: Spicy (bite of chillipepper), smooth sweetness, wood
Aftertaste: smooth caramel, wood, vanilla

the peak of all the rums I tasted it's for special occasion paid over $280 so you can expect something special and it is, if you can afford it try it.

A nicely balanced rum with aromas of caramel, cocoa, a bit of vanilla. Very full taste with a bit of a punch at 47%. One of my favourites

Nice deep color with the taste of dark chocolate, cinnamon and nuts.

I had high expectations considering the reviews and hefty price of that rum. Indeed it is a great rum but it did not 'wow' me enough to get a 10. I tasted it after the Vizcaya and thought the latter was smoother but Diplomatico Ambassador has a more complex taste. I guess I need to give it a second try.

An incredible rum that is excellent for sipping (on special occasions ;)).

This is really good with touch of bourbon, cherry & cognac aging. Also compare to Single Vintages it has anise giving a buttery feeling, sophisticated & it is also more intense-aggressive with higher alcohol but same time less bold. In the background notice sherry, exotic fruits, touch bitter & little sweetness with long aftertaste (very close to 9). Overall extreamly overpriced.. i think Single Vintages 2002 and 2004 are close at half price with some different darker taste and tiny less smooth & intresting.

Krásna fľaša, nádherná vôňa a príjemná chuť. Skutočne pekne pitie k cigare, či na bežný relax. Sladkosť typická pre Diplo zostala, no oveľa krajšie integrovaná. Pekne ovocné tóny, čokoládový puding , vanilka a smotana. Pekne pitie za vyššiu cenu.

This rum is powerful. Strong, full aroma yet smooth on the palate. It’s the most expensive rum I’ve tried so far but it is excellent. It’s far superior to the other rums in my profile.

Lightly sweet, with notes of oak, vanilla and smoke.

Outstanding.

Edit: 9/14/20

Still an excellent rum, but as usual, more experience has shown me that while it’s expensive, that doesn’t mean it’s a 10. I’m downgrading to an 8.5 because while very good, it lacks some depth that I believe is due to additives that may cover some inherent flaws.

Would I buy it again? Yes, but not until I’ve added Appleton Estate Joy and 30 year to my collection.

Another top quality by Diplomatico.
Solid rum with long final
