So far, this is my absolute favorite rum. You don't need ice to mellow it out, it has almost no burn, but still full of flavor. I wouldn't dare put this in a cocktail or with coke, it would be a disgrace to do that. It is extremely smooth.

I've tried hundreds of rums, and have I've 75 different types in my cellar at home. I have 4 cases of this. It's that fantastic. Rich and creamy, heavy caramel and toffee, without being overwhelmed with hard oak. This is the epitome of rum, the gold standard by which all others are judged. Superb!

Wow, this is like sweet, rum-flavored pancake syrup. Based on the reviews here, I went out and bought a bottle ($40), and was hoping to discover a new favorite sipping rum. It never happened. From the first sip, I was like.."huh?" My background is, I have dietary restrictions and don't drink soda or eat a lot of candy (sugar) or sugary drinks or food, even. So maybe my tolerance for sugar is low, who knows. But this stuff is cloyingly sweet, the aftertaste is similar to that of having eaten hard candy. You can taste this sickly sweet residue in your mouth for long afterwards. Don't get me wrong, it's not "bad" rum, it's sweet and slightly pleasant, but for a rum purist, it's horrible. I can't believe I just blew $40 on this bottle of rum-flavored syrup. It also has a strong scent of vanilla, no doubt added. Like I said, it's not rum, it's a liqueur. It has a nice burn down the throat, but the sticky sweetness is horrible for me, and it makes me want to brush my teeth. Sorry guys, I'm voting against the grain on this one.

Diplomatico RE was my first sipping rum. Couldn't have chosen a better one to start with. Being new to the rum review game, I won't try to use fancy lingo like flavor notes, legs or complexity. I will just say that it smells and tastes like sweet deliciousness with a subtle burn. Drinking it neat is the way to go. Ice and water takes away from that creamy goodness and mixing hides that great flavor. I have graduated to less sweet rums but this will always stay in heavy rotation at my house. At around $35 USD (01/2016), this is a must have.

As tasty as this is, rating is down as it's not a rum - it's a liqueur:
Nose: Big caramel, toffee, butterscotch (you get the idea). Vanilla and dark fruits, maybe some orange skin. Tiny prickle of spice from the oak. The combination is not complex but it is certainly very hedonistic.
Palate: Big caramel, toffee, butterscotch. Vanilla and dark fruits......oh wait. Nose, taste and repeat. Very viscous and mouth-coating, actually quite cloying. Yep, it's a liqueur. Delicious though.
Finish: Actually surprisingly long, didn't expect that. Lashings of vanilla and a bit of oaky bitterness but I get the impression that the finish is just there because my mouth is still coated with the sticky rum and I'm still getting "palate" and not an actual "finish".

I'll give a mention to this fellow that nailed the rum review:

It's just too sweet for me. Rums by their nature will tend to have a sweeter note, but this is playing to a crowd that wants liquid candy in their mouth.
I'm currently experimenting with drier and spicier rums to mix it with in order to try and bring some semblance of balance.

Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva comes in a nice bottle and the rum is delivered in a nice tube (as in the picture).
The smell is very sweet with lots of caramel, cacao and vanilla.
In mouth this rum is very velvety with a small hint of spice at the end. The taste is full of vanilla, cacao and orange.
The finish is long, mild and sweet with a little bit of spice.
A sipper that also goes well as a blender. This one should be in every collection :)

Diplomatic RE is an excellent sipping rum. Sweet enough but not quite as much as Zaya . Buttery caramel flavor with the smoky burnt oak misting through. I can sip a good glass of rum for two hours. Add a twist of lime and try that with this rum. Let me know if after about 30 to 45 minutes you , you don't find the nose has evolved to a different rum. All in a good way. If it were not more expensive than Zaya, it would also be a 10 but I have to say 9.
A luxurious adventure of rich evolving tastes: molasses, chocolate, toffee, vanilla, orange, at a very reasonable price. Quite smooth and easy on the palate. I surprise devotees of high end bourbon and scotch with this sipping rum. Mmmm...

Alt rom ciudat.. poate tocmai asta e cel mai frumos la romuri, intalnirea cu altul nou (ca si la vinuri) .
Romul acesta contine coloranti si are mult zahar adaugat, sau poate nu e zahar... dar destul cu partea negativa
Am facut acelasi test ca la toate, si chiar am baut 3 zile din el ca sa ma dumiresc si nu prea am ajuns la o concluzie; miroase a ceva foarte cunoscut si totusi nu mi pot da seama ce e , si gustul e cam tot in mister. ok, se simte in gust ceva ciocolata sau cacao , si caramel si in miros parca ceva vanilie .
alcoolul este retinut , sunt arsuri mici cre si simt putin si pe gat, incalzeste putin, e placut alcoolul .
este un rom foarte aromat iar gusturile sunt foarte bine inglobate , atat de bine ca nu se mai pot distinge , la primul contact se simte putina arsura , te invaluie aromele si apoi ramane ca un sirop destul de gros .. probail ca nu are nicio legatura dar eu pot sa l asemuiesc doar cu siropul de muguri de brad al bunicii, si parca si in miros partea aceea cunoscuta poate e tot asta . un rom aromat dar prea dulce .. mi as fi dorit sa fie mai invechit si sa se simta mai tare acel gust de invechit in butoi, poate ar domoli putin dulceata .. inca nu m am dumirit cu romul asta straniu, il plac si nu l plac in acelasi timp. in prima seara am baut foarte multa apa dupa el si parca m a facut sa apreciez mai mult romul sec ( flor de cana 18) pe care il consumasem in zilele precedente ; dar l am apreciat parca mai mult si pe acesta dupa ce am consumat si o patratica de iocolata neagra .
Ce pot sa mai spun despre el e ca totul in gust pare natural, isi merita un loc sus.. si ma face curios sa incerc acel diplomatico cu mai putin zahar adaugat )) (mantuano)
daca ma pui sa aleg intre acesta si flor de cana 18 merg pe sec clar, cred ca si cu angostura 7 as face la fel si e si mai ieftin ca acesta ..
cand incepi sa intrii mai adanc in lumea romurilor devine din ce in ce mai greu sa le notezi ))
Update: mă deranjată că i prea dulce, îmi venea să l retrogradez la 7 dar îi făceam totuși o nedreptate. Merge sa pui 2 3 picături de lămâie verde sa mai estompeze din dulceața fara a strica gustul complex. Un prieten a găsit o combinație ce o găsesc perfecta: 1 parte diplomatico rezerva exclusiva 2 părți dictator claro și 2 3 picături de lămâie verde .. se combina perfect cele 2 romuri și se echilibrează scapi de dulceața intensă și rămân aromele ambelor , sublim )
UPDATE : l am retrogradat de la 8 la 7 pentru cantitatea enorma de zahar , nu mai vorbim de alti aditivi. Las mai cumpara doar in combinatie cu dictador claro 100 (poate merge si cu alte romuri albe) impreuna devin un super rom )
