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

This rum smell exacly like a buttery caramel. The color is pretty caramelish to. The taste is very enjoyable, there is barely any burning sensation. This my favorite rum to this day. I could smell it all day.

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

Dieser Rum macht auch (fast) jede Lady glücklich.Wenn ich diesen Rum ausschenke bekehre ich fast alle Cognac oder Whiskytrinker,der perfekte Einstieg in die Rum Welt.Mit rund 30 Euro des beste Preis/Leistungsverhältniss dass ich kenne.
Ein süsser leckerer Publikumsliebling mit wunderbaren Aromen,mit Sicherheit ganz ordentlich nachgesüsst,aber das Endergebniss zählt und schmeckt verdammt gut.
Allerdings gibt es grosse Unterschiede bei den Jahrgängen,seit die Verkaufszahlen gestiegen sind und der Rum in jeder besseren Bar zu finden ist hat die Qualität abgenommen und die neueren Jahrgänge werden immer sprittiger weil vermutlich die Lagerzeiten kürzer und der Anteil der jüngeren Bestandteile immer mehr wird.Bis 2012 egal ob Diplomatico oder Botucal alles Top aber kaum noch zu bekommen.Danach mit Ausnahme des 2014er Jahrgangs dautlich schärfer und sprittiger aber immer noch auf sehr hohen Niveau.Der 14er ist Top egal ob Botucal oder Diplomatico,ich habe sie alle im direkten Vergleich offen und verkostet.
Daher bei dem billigen Preis von nur 30 Euro ganz klar 9 Punkte

Un rhum facile d'accès, tout en douceur sur la vanille et le caramel. Un bon rhum pour commencer une rhumatèque. Généralement tout le monde aime, les plus novices comme les plus confirmés ! Facile à trouver de plus.
