Un rhum classique pour débuter: il est omniprésent chez les cavistes et dans les supermarchés, et son packaging donne envie de l'essayer.
Il est assez aromatique (vanille et caramel essentiellement) et très doux (à la limite du sirupeux: beaucoup de sucre ajouté!).
Ce rhum est très facile à boire et formaté pour plaire au plus grand nombre: en ce sens, il est idéal pour faire découvrir cet univers à quelqu'un qui ne s'y est jamais essayé...
Cela dit, vous découvrirez vite qu'il y a plus intéressant, plus naturel à découvrir que ce produit archi commercial!

If you like whisky i think you would easily get into this rum. I found it abit different to other rums i had tried. Its got a smokey note and i found it had the peat flavours of a whisky probably from the oak barrells they use. I wasnt sure when i first tasted it but by the time i was a few glasses in I was ready to buy another.

Sampled the Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva and I can understand why customers enjoy this rum. It is sweet and has no burn whatsoever. Pretty good stuff for those who enjoy sweet rums (41 GPL), however, that is not for me as I prefer dry rums, hence my lower score.
my point a view about the tasty is not a good rhum to sweety. not enough character. but i think that the marketing agound this bottle have made lots of amateur of other rhum.

En mycket prisvärd rom med väl avvägda smaker. En bra instegsdryck i romens vackra värld.
Un bon rhum pour débuter, mais il y a bien meilleur pour le même prix voir moins.

I must say I do enjoy sipping on this rum. Yes this is a sweet rum that has a pronounced molasses taste and extremely sugary but I do appreciate a sweet rum. the price is also reasonable for a great rum. if you are new to rum sipping, this would be the perfect choice. its still one of my favorite to drink during the week.
This is by far the best sipping rum you can buy for under 50 euros.
So delicious it would be a shame to mix it in cocktails.
This is the rum your cabinet can't go without, also because it doesn't break the bank 😉

Nose: a bit shy
Pleasant, pretty sweet, scent of caramel and vanilla, maybe a tiny bit smoky, pretty oily. Not very complex. After taste is not lasting very long.

After much hesitation I was disappointed.

I walked past this bottle a sum total of 400 times and never pulled the trigger on it because something always seemed like a better buy for it's price. I finally bought this guy and gave it nothing but high praise before having it. Now my thing is I quite enjoyed the younger brother of the Diplomatico's was it outstanding? No but it was a a very nice not just for the price but in general. So I finally decided to buy this ugly bastard of a bottle and give it a try. First pop of the top it has that same spice fragrance that Bumbu and Kilo Kai have in it. Which made me excited because for reasons unknown that certain spice is quite good at making a well composed blend, i.e. removing the alcohol burn and making it one complete taste. Pouring it in the glass you get an overburden of alcohol smell and oak. Which is fine by me. However 1 quick swig of this and even letting it breath you get a large bit of burn. It's a very dry burn too, the worst kind. Now I mean you get the oak aged taste with a very very minor hint of that secret spice however the harshness over powers the flavors. After incinerating my tongue with repetitive intake of said liquid in an idea that the harshness would stop eventually (sometimes the first sip of any rum can be harsh) to no success. Ultimately I have found that the anejo is a much better rum in both cost and taste and I will continue to buy that bottle it need be rather than this. Mixed down it's actually a very nice drink with some strong oak and alcohol flavor however when I am paying $40+ for a bottle I don't like mixing. I want to enjoy it for all it's worth rather than polluting with diet coke. Save this one for the shelves and go for the Anejo.
*PS the secret spice is banana
