In general this rum is good and smooth good sipper. For its sweetnes and price it got not enough full body taste. Since its sweet and well known rum it tend to be overrated - yes there are better rums for its price.
Aroma: Sweetness dominates , then kinda fruity
Taste: Nice and smooth in begginnig due to its sweetness, little fruity then nothing big.
Compared to:
Pampero anniverasario: Pampero is cheaper, in taste its more full but less sweet.
Plantation 20yo anni.: For little more money you got much more in taste and aroma, plantation is little less sweet aswell

Very nice color and a good sweetness. I smell at first caramel then vanilla and banana. It's like the first rum i drink without coke and i was compare it to Appleton Estate 12 years and it is so mutch finer and sweeter than the Appelton.
So for my beginning i like the Diplomatico the best.

Tried this rum when out to dinner recently. Was enjoyable and had a very smooth finish, I would definitely give it another go or grab a bottle for home

After reading some of the recommendations for sampling this rum I wanted to try it as a sipper and damn if they weren't right this is great on its own. I even added a twist of lime and damn again. Keep calm and sample on.

I admit I'm biased when it comes to this rum it was one of my first sipping rums I loved it then and I love it now. It's very sweet definitely a dessert rum perfect for a night cap or having a few after dinner. Some people complain about the added sugar but you know what I don't care ! It's delicious ! Drink straight or on the rocks don't mix this rum especially with Cola it would be a shame

Nose: a pleasure to nose lots of caramel and nuttiness
Taste: it's basically liquid candy Caramel, vanilla and walnuts
Throat: dangerously smooth kinda scary actually haha

Sweet, smooth, good body, with all the good notes found in a high end sipping rum at a more reasonable price. I keep this one stocked in my liquor cabinet.

Dilomatico is a little bit sweet but not too much. Also it smells very nice and you can feel beautiful and full taste of high quality rum (especialy for this price).
But this rum is a bit sharper than expected. In overall It is one of the best price/value ratio on the rum market.

This is a go to bottle for your rum experience, affordable and smooth. always enjoy straight on ice or mixed strong in a classic cuba libra

The best thing about this rum is the fact that as you drink it and the sharpness wears down, it becomes sweeter like a cherry liquor.

This was one of the first aged rum I tasted.
Nice vanilla and caramel aroma. A really sweet rum. Maybe too much for rum rum lovers.
But a really easy to drink choice. A great rum for newcomers to the rum world.
