First rhum drinked from better ones. Nice and famous taste.
My daughter gave this to me for my birthday today. I have been eyeing this on the shelves for quite a while but just havent taken the plunge yet. Well, let me tell you, this rum is the epitome of rums as far as I am concerned. I drink it neat and the smell in the glass does not indicate the smoothness and complex flavours you are about to enjoy. This has definitely earned a spot in my cabinet. I cant wait to share it with some close friends.

This again is a very sweet rum... at times just a tad too sweet for me. It has a very nice scent and a decent burn. The sweetness often lures you into having another glass, it's an easy rum to drink.
It definite has some strong molasse and caramel notes, hence the sweetness. Also "default" flavours like vanilla and oak are present.
Diplomatico comes in a nice package, has a very good nose and a lovely deep brown color. In other reviews I read descriptions like "luxury" and "velvety" and those terms accurately describe the "feel" of the drink. It feels like a luxury / velvety drink.
i like this rum very much. it has a good price/quality level.

I find this mid-afternoon colour rum is a balanced, smooth entry in my cabinet. Flavor and smell are similar. A hint of vainilla, maybe a hint of toffee. Flavor is a bit timid, and feels light. Not my favorite but not a bad option either. Luke a vainilla ice cream chances are you will enjoy it, but is, well, vainilla.

The nose is very heavy bourbon vanilla. Too much for my taste. Quite one dimensional.
Taste is better. Vanilla is still there, but accompanied by sweet chocolate raisins.
Pleasant burn, but not quite my cup of tea. Will use it as a mixer.

I have a soft spot for this one even though it is very much on the sweet side. I like it and my wife loves it.

There is nothing really wrong with this rum, except perhaps that they added too much sugar.
In fact, that is what is what is wrong with it.
Smell and taste are good. Some oak, some spices, some dried fruits. All very agreeable. But it is all way too blurry, way too tame and too boring. No alcohol taste or smell, no roughness at all. I wish it had some, that would give it a bit complexity and would make for a much more interesting drinking experience.
As with Centenario 20, I would be very interested in trying this without the added sugar. The rum used in this is probably quite good and very likely would be much more interesting without all the sugar flannel.
Still, an OK rum to drink. I like an ice cube in it, which helps with dimming down the sweetness a bit.
