Diplomatico Reserva je rum na rozjezd a pro začátečníky . Má vyváženou chuť, ne příliš říznou a decentně sladkou. Je to rum na večerní popíjení.

Very good but you can taste de sugar added, still very enjoyable
Mon premier rhum et excellente découverte. Riche en saveurs, peut être un petit peu trop sucré.
This was my first rum and the one that actually strated my habit with the rums. Before I mostly enjoyed some cognac and single malts, but bottle of this changed it all. :) excellent for sipping imo.

First encountered its inviting caramel smell. Then the smoothness is surprising. It's not too sweet. Definitely a very good sipper

Dilomatico odvedlo kus práce a spoustu mým známým, včetně mě, ukázalo, že rum není jen plytká obarvená voda s alkoholem 40% alá Božkov. Je to už déle, co jsem ho měl a chutnal mi. Snad jen, že mi nepřišel tak jemný, jak jsem o něm slyšel; naopak mi přišel spíš ostřejší a chuťově dost výrazný. Měl jsem ho poprvé u nás v Irský a dle výčepního se prý za posledních pár let trochu zhoršil. Jestli to je poptávkou, která je asi enormní, protože Diplomatico najdete momentálně v každé druhé hospodě a dokonce i v některých lepších nádražkách, to nevím, každopádně občas mám pocit, jako by Zacapa, Diplomatico a Don Papa byly těmi jedinými a opravdovými rumy. Najít i něco jiného, začíná být záležitostí specializovaných barů. Ale obecně si myslím, že i díky téhle triádě v čele s Diplomaticem se časy (co se kultury pití rumu týče) asi opravdu mění k lepšímu, i když to může občas zavánět snobstvím.

Nice stuff - with a fruity and harmonic taste. The price is right ok for what yout get.

Devenu un grand classique en France, il n'est pas vraiment à mon goût : trop sucré. Je le trouve également un peu simple dans sa palette aromatique pour ce niveau de prix. Pas déplaisant quand même.
Love that the first sip gives a mouthful of wonderful flavor. Most enjoyable sipping rum, I've tried by far. "Purists" may object that sugar is added (which is old news as it has long been a practice for some rums), but I judge by the flavor of rums and this is seriously good rum.

This is the first darker sweet style rum I've ever tried and it got me into sipping and learning about all types of rum. It has thicker texture in the mouth than other rums I've tried and it's almost syrupy (there's a lot of sugar in it). The combination of alcohol,sugar, and strong vanilla is almost medicinal smelling and was a bit wierd for me when going through my first bottle. In the beginning I had a love/hate relationship w this rum and couldn't decide if I liked it. After recently trying several others rums and developing new tastes, I now have a second bottle. I've learned that I do like this rum neat but I like it even more on the rocks. It's so sweet that I prefer to open it up w ice to thin it out. When compared to Ron Zacapa 23 Solera they both have a base "rum raisiny" flavor but the DRE has a bit more burn and a lot more flavor of sweet vanilla and baking spices on top. You actually feel spice on your tongue with Diplomatico but with Zacapa you just get the dried fruit flavor with not too much more on the finish. Interesting and fun rum to own, fantastic bottle presentation.
Update: This should be referred to as a rum-liquor because it's so obviously sweetened and it's texture resembles drinks like Amaretto or Frangelico. With that said, you don't have to call this stuff rum but it's an amazing beverage in its own right with a unique combination of flavors. Most noticably in my latest tasting was a sweet and subtle black-liquoric alongside the trademark bold vanilla. The liquoric was likely responsible for my previous reporting of a medicinal smell to the drink and now that I've identified the flavor it's quite good. This was my first time having it from a Glencairn glass. The sugar seems to possibly be disguising a rum that may not be as aged as we think...how much of a role does the actual spirit play in the delicious taste vs the taste provided from added sugar? I will add that this was even better with a dash of angostura bitters, after adding it I could taste more wood and familiar flavors to Santa Theresa 1796 because the vanilla had been muted down. Intrigued. 7 bc it's just such a different animal than most rums
