They're very similar, but I feel Diplomatico Exclusiva delivers more bang for the buck. It's harsher, and had less overall body.
Getting past the alcohol, it's toffee and caramel, the oak is very light, which I feel is the weak point of this particular rum. Still good, but I'll stick to buying the Exclusiva. This is a one-off for me.

En udemærket rom som minder lidt om dens navnebror. Ret tør, udemærket men kort smag.

Un grand classique à avoir. Passe très bien, léger.

Diplomatic rums are synonymous with good rum! Enjoyed neat or mixed you can't go wrong with Diplomatico's Reserva. Smooth and flavor with complexity to match. Minimal heat with nice warming flavors.
currently discovering the wonderful world of rum and in time I will start rating the rums I enjoy in a decent way :-)

Clear, deep amber colour; vanilla, oak and pronounced spice aromas of cinnamon, cloves and a hint of orange; medium-bodied and tasting off-dry; flavours of allspice, vanilla, dried fruits, orange, cacao, oak and spice; long finish with chocolate orange notes. A bit too much alcohol taste for sipping but is a good mixer.

This is a nice rum, not too many flavour overtones that can take over the rum. I always keep this as a staple on the shelf and for the price well worth it.
The bottle is also a conversation piece on the shelf with the other rums.

Lots of fruity smells and lots of flavors, but the alcohol stands out. Better as a nice mixer, but you'd opt for something cheaper if that's what you want.

Tout d'abord, il est très différent du grand classique de la marque. Plus sec, moins sucré, on retrouve tout de même la douceur du caramel. Il est globalement équilibré et, pour le prix, ne manque pas trop de caractère.

Diplomatico Reserva 8 40%

out of 10
Diplomatico Reserva 8 40% (Venezuela)
Eye: Amber with copper tones
Nose: Opens with pronounced elements of grapefruit, old dry wood and molasses. It continues with weak honey, cotton and a hint of orange-zest, fat fish oil, and cheap praline that reminds me of light cooking chocolate. It is no immediate love, I can tell you that. It is so obviously colored, forced and juvenile. To me it smells like drink base.
Mouth: Could I be wrong? No, it even taste like drink base. It has that thin eau-de-vie taste that I dislike so much in a sipping rom. It is young and light and carries few own flavors. It is also short which is actually a forgiving feature in this case. The sweetness comes crawling after a while as do the vanilla. A weak buzz on the palate from the alcohol burn which is neither good or bad. Then a little caramel, honey and melted white sugar with faint hints of pear. That´s it folks! (30 minutes in some soot enters but it really doesn´t add anything.
Reaction: For some reason I had high hopes for this one. Unfortunately, there is no hope and it can´t be compared with anything I have rated so far. It doesn´t even evolve in the glass which is a first. It actually degrades in the glass which is a trademark of any bad product. As sipping rum it has to be the worst yet but that does not mean it isn´t great in a drink. I know nothing about that as I don´t usually enjoy rom based drinks.
