Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

OK this is the rum that steered me from bourbon to rum. And while I carry on my journey every time I come back to this it remains my beacon. The richness and complexity are unbeatable and at this and up to double price point it is "the one"

The nose delivers a light butterscotch with banana. The feel of the sip is a watery start with almost no alcohol burn. The alcohol burn but it develops slowly. The butterscoth and artificial banana flavor linger, along with the alcohol burn. I feel as if it was definitely for slow sipping. One small sip satisfies the desire to have more for a long time since the flavors linger rather heavily for several minutes after it has been sipped.

Lot of sugar added but! With style for sure!
I liked it a lot. Little pot :)

Really nice rum, on the sweet side but not too sweet and now easily available in the UK.

Poměrně dobrá chuť, ale trochu mě překvapil dost vystupující alkohol. Jinak celkem ok, i když poměrně drahý kousek. Přijde mi dost přeceňovaný. Po druhé už bych si ho nekoupil. Kubánské rumy mi přijdou lepší.

This rum is a great tasting rum.
And for the price it is very good.

This is a very good bottle to have in the bar. Enjoy meat with a friend!

Tastes like smoke and leather. Good for sailing...

This is the rum to showcase beginners to set them down the path of rum appreciation.

This rum serves like a benchmark to me. It's a good sipping rum for a decent price. There's a lot of better ones but you can always have a dram and you'll enjoy it.
