Distinctive, sweet and rich taste. Very smooth and easy to drink. One of my favorites at the moment

Dieser Rum ist ein schwer Rum mit sรผรer Note. Er ist relativ dickflรผssig und bleibt von Anfang an bis zum Ende seine Note treu.

A nice rum without too much aftertaste. Personally, I always recommend this rum as an entry-level rum, for people who are tired of the big brands. A door to the wonderful world of rum. What you will find in this rum is a nice green dark bottle. Not too big or special. The mix with cola has a nice smell and excellent mix, regardless of temperature. The traditional rum scent floats to the surface and it is relatively easy to drink. Pure it becomes a little less, the rum may or may not be a franction too strong for a beginner and also has little layering. Still a great rum to try neat.

As many will say, somewhat more a liquor than a pure rum....but you know what? It's still awesome. Go treat yourself. Now.

Absolutely amazing rum. Possibly one of the bests I have had for its price class. Very very smooth and warm and deep flavours.

Very good rum and usually available across clubs and restaurants nearby (or also during the flights :D) Very sweet, taste of vanilla and chocolate.
Itโs pretty difficult to find a rum that is both sweet and shows the character of an aged rum vs some raw spirit spiked with sugar. This particular diplomatico goes well with a Maduro cigar
Great rum, always a good choice for whatever occassion, from a casual evening drink to a good digestive.
One of my firsts and still a favorite. Smooth and flavorful.

Tough to grade
7
/10
out of 10
9/10 for the complex wonderful aroma, 6/10 for almost liqueur-like sweetness. Altogether, 7.5/10 would be fitting. If they dropped the amount of added sugar from 40g/l to 20g/l it would have been perfect, possibly better than Zacapa 23 Solera. As it is it's too sweet. I really enjoy it poured into a snifter glass, as if it was a good cognac, and just smell it for a while.
One workaround for the sweetness is to mix it 50/50 with Mount Gay XO. The resulting rum is simply perfect.
