Jeden z nejlepších, ale ne ten nejlepší. Pro některé až moc sladký, ale pro začátečníky ta nejlepší volba. Hlavními prvky zde je vůně a chuť vanilky, karamelu, nějaké to ovoce a dubu. 7/10

Managed to snag a bottle at my local packie for $40. I've been hooked ever since. Still can't bring myself to have it any way but straight. Anything else does a disservice to the flavor profile.
Everything fits...the only thing in excess is the sweetness of this divine spirit. Still...I can't get enough of it. Somehow, this drink slides better than even those I consider superior...fantastic harmony, incredible taste and balance...Give me more!

I love this rum cause its sweet, good taste and its cheap :). Its my everyday rum, but not for me. it reminds me strong on bananas in chocolate
Diplomatico is a quality sweeter rum. This rum does not hurt anyone and tastes great for most people. Unfortunately, I've been drinking a few bad bottles lately.
Busy with my second bottle. I am for sure the first one was better. Better taste, longer taste.
Maybe this bottle is wrong or something.
Will try one more just to see
Very smooth. I like the way of it taste. Full body.

Personally I found many better brands from Venezuela but this is a decent one I'll give them that. A fairly complex taste, still easy to drink. Unfortunately some of the notes do not levitate towards the pleasant...

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
