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.

Somewhat more boozy and brash than the mellow Exclusiva, but still worth sipping straight up or in a better cocktail. Not top shelf, but a definitely solid back-up.

A tasty sip, not as smoky as its bigger brother but still a mighty fine one.

Nice and tasty, without being impressive. Sweet and fruity.

Nice, smooth rum with a sweet vanilla taste. Still prefer the reserva exclusiva.

From the affordable Dipllomatico rum offer, the best price/value choice is for sure the "green bottle" Reserva Exclusiva. This Reserva rum is missing the smoothness, the aroma richness and the nice feeling of the Exlusiva rum... it is simply too harsh for my apetite.

On the other hand compared to other younger/cheaper rums (5/8 years old) it may be a good choice. But in that case I would suggest something like Plantation Barbados...

Tasted the diplomatico Reserva and his big brother Reserva Exlusiva side to side. Surprisingly different. While good and worth it, the Reserva exclusiva was better, more complex, with caramel notes, while this one had more "alcohol" notes and a relatively strong cigar notes.

Ai goûté le diplomatico Reserva et son grand frère Reserva Exlusiva côte à côte. Étonnamment différents. Bien que bon et en vaut la peine, le Reserva Exclusiva était mieux, plus complexe et plus rond, avec des notes de caramel, alors que celui-ci la sensation d'alcool et d'assez fortes notes de "cigare" étaient plus présente, avec une texture plus mince. Reste que ce rhum demeure très agréable et seul, sera très plaisant !
