After enjoying the single vintage I thought this would be a top 10. Sadly for me I found it too heavily aged in the PX barrels. I usually like PX second aged rums like Dos Maderos 5&5, but this might have been aged a bit too long.i immediately reminded me of Ron Navazos, aged for 24 years and way to long in Oloroso casks, just overpowering not even rum anymore. Lots of better rums in the $50-$150 range for me $250 was too much unless you love aged sherry. Look at my top 10 list for better options, and if you get a chance for a tot try it but don’t buy the cow.

This rums comes in a beautiful stone box and the cork actually has real gold in it. The presentation is stunning.

Taste: candied pecans, baking spices, sherry, molasses, black pepper, and a balanced sweetness with medium viscosity.

Con: I think it is overpriced because there are only bottles of rum that are comparable for a much lower price.

But it is a special rum.

I like diplomatico rums. This one has been in my sights for a long time. But I got dissapointed.

Smell is very woody, but tastes very similar to familia version, but not worth the money. In time, when familia version was not on the market, it made sense. But not now.

Ich hatte die Gelegenheit, über ein Probierset diesen Rum zu testen und hatte mir eigentlich ein Geschmackserlebnis vorgestellt. Leider wurde ich doch ziemlich enttäuscht. Geruch, Geschmack und auch Abgang, man schmeckt hauptsächlich Alkohol. Für einen Rum dieser Preisklasse ein absolutes No Go.
Dass es trotzdem noch zu 8 Sternen reicht liegt daran, dass man unter dem Alkoholgeschmack, der alles überdeckt, doch noch leichte Nuancen eines lang gelagerten und gereiften Rums herausschmecken kann.
Alles in allem das Geld niemals wert. Es gibt billigere die diesen um Welten übertreffen.

To be honest i love the presentation of this rum, the shape of the bottle, the letters, the box in which it comes, in short an excellent presentation. However is not the best rum i've ever tasted, it has a high alcoholic impact, it tastes a bit insipid for me, a bit spicy and a bit dry too; but it has a good aroma, being able to distinguish tobacco, and some dried fruits. In addition it also has a very pleasing color to the eye.
That's why i rate it with an 8, which proves to be a highly recommended rum, however the price of this rum is too high compared to its true value.

Para ser honesto me encanta la presentación de este ron, la forma de la botella, las letras, la caja en la que viene, en resumen una excelente presentación. Sin embargo no es el mejor ron que he probado, tiene un golpe alcohólico elevado, de sabor un poco insípido para mis gusto, un poco picante y un poco seco también; pero tiene buen aroma pudiéndose distinguir el tabaco, y algunas frutas secas. Ademas también cuenta con un color muy agradable a la vista.
Es por eso que lo califico con un 8, lo cual demuestra ser un ron muy recomendable, sin embargo el precio de este ron es demasiado elevado en comparación con su verdadero valor.

Schönes sattes Bernstein mit Kupferreflektionen im Glas.
In der Nase sehr verhalten und überhaupt nicht aufdringlich aber auch nicht langweilig. Mild und zart gebranntes Karamell wird mit frisch gepresstem Traubenmost abgelöscht. An einem verregneten Tag gesammelte Pilze und wilde Kräuter werden dazugegeben und mit einer Priese Pfeffer und Nelkenpulver verfeinert.
Am Gaumen anregend-zart und mundfüllend. Das Traubenmost-Karamell bringt eine tolle Herb-Süsse Balance auf die Zunge. Harmonisch wechseln sich die Aromen ab, Karamell, Wein Trauben und andere weisse Beeren, Vanille, etwas Muskat, liegen schön drapiert in einem altem Weinfass.
Im Abgang klingen die Aromen lange nach, die wilden Kräuter und ein kleines Bisschen Rauch gesellen sich dazu.
Ein super ausbalancierter Rum der Zeit zum atmen braucht, eine lange diplomatische Verhandlung.
Ist er aber sein Geld wert ? Dass muss Jeder für sich selber entscheiden. Für Rum Fetischisten, gut betuchte und als Deluxe Barinhalt
-2cl Muster-

Beautiful rich amber with copper reflections in the glass.
In the nose very restrained and not at all intrusive but not boring. Mild and delicate burnt caramel is deglazed with freshly squeezed grape must. Mushrooms and wild herbs gathered on a rainy day are added and finished with a pinch of pepper and clove powder.
Stimulatingly delicate and mouth-filling on the palate. The grape must caramel brings a great tart-sweet balance to the tongue. Harmoniously alternating flavors, caramel, wine grapes and other white berries, vanilla, some nutmeg, lie nicely draped in an old wine barrel.
In the finish, the flavors linger long, the wild herbs and a little bit of smoke join in.
A super balanced rum that needs time to breathe, a long diplomatic negotiation.
But is it worth the money? That everyone must decide for themselves. For rum fetishists, well-heeled and as a deluxe bar content

Raffinato e complesso, con punte dolci di amarena e un finale aromatico di frutta e frutta secca, in pieno stile Diplomatico

It is not for beginner drinkers, because the high ABV can mess with your perception, because it can be very astringent. Otherwise the flavor is very big on sherry, very much more than the Single Vintage editions which can be more fruity and whisky-like, or Reserva Exclusiva, which is more mainstream experience with vanilla tones.

Rigtig fin rom, startede min romrejse med den almindelig Diplomatico og har prøvet et par stykker siden. Denne er en af de bedre

C'est un très bon rhum, je ne vous le cache pas, mais le prix fait que l'on s'attend à gouter au paradis.
La présentation est irréprochable, on est vraiment flatté d'ouvrir le coffret et de posséder cette bouteille. C'est une très belle pièce.
En revanche au niveau du goût, l'attaque est très alcoolisée (47°) et le feu de l'alcool gâche un peu le plaisir. C'est un rhum de mec. Soit on aime soit on n'aime pas, c'est un peu trop pour moi.
On y trouve des arômes boisés, assez peu sucré. Le rhum tapisse bien l'intérieur de la bouche et la note de fin est moyennement longue, j'ai goûté mieux.
En tous cas, il n'a rien à voir avec le Reserva Exclusiva. On sent que les arrangements sont beaucoup mieux maitrisés. Mais rapport qualité/prix, le petit frere est gagnant haut la main.
