I went searching for my favorite Venezuelan rum, which is Ron Pampero Anaversario, but they were all sold out. Ever since I spent one day in Caracas way back in 1991, I first got to try an incredible one called Gran Selecto, and still have the empty bottle. Lo and behold, the fine print on it says Santa Teresa and it is available locally, so that one is next on my list to find!

I had heard so much about the Diplomatico rums from Venezuela and this liquor store had three to choose from. I was suckered in by the fancy bottle and moderate price on this one. The excitement ended when I opened it up when I got home. There is too much of a hint of rubbing alcohol in this one for my tastes. Yes, it can be sipped neat or on the rocks, so it would therefore make a good mixer. There is just not enough to get excited about to justify me buying any more from Diplomatico. Not bad, but not good. It can't seem to make up it's mind.

Falto de elaboración, si bien suave, por momentos tuve la sensación de estar tomando una bebida sin un acabado.

This rum was my first sipping rum when i started tasting rums year ago.
Sweet vanilla, toffee, sucar cane and oak. Going down is quite sharp. Is very sweet (sugared) but not as much as the reserva exclusiva if i remember correctly.
Finish is medium long and spicy sugary sweet with some burn.
I almost like this rum bit more than reserva exclusiva because the sharpness
and spiciness gives this rum some character unlike the reserva exclusiva which is extremely inoffensive in profile.
Its still sugared up too much but not destroyed.

Tasted this at a friends house party. I had it a couple of times before but for me right now it carries a lill bit to much alcohol punch. The this might fulfill its purpose some times. But not right now. Need to look into Diplomatico´s finner releases.

Pls spent some more cash and buy reserva exclusiva!

Here you can taste and smell the difference between one brand and two types. Exclusiva is my favourite, this one was just some ordinary rum, hard alcohol taste, feels more in neck and smell is not what you excpect. One trick - leave in glass 3-5 min and drink. Then it is better...

Oaky smokey tongue, follows with a nourishingly smooth caramel body. One of the smoothest I have had. Could deserve a higher rating if not for my first experience with diplomatico being the XO.

Diplomatico heeft heerlijke rum en deze is er een van. Net niet zoet genoeg vind ik maar drinkt heerlijk weg.

The younger version of reserva exclusiva, but not equally good and balanced. A lot of vanilla, really smooth, but too young and little complex at my taste and sounds me to sugar added. Not quite good.
