It starts with a very sharp alcohol scent, a slight caramel tone to it, but not much more. The sip is quite pleasant, despite the alcohol scent, very classic rum taste. Filled with sugar cane, arrack, and with a leveled amount of sweetness it is a nice drink, but the taste doesn't last very long, and the alcohol sting is prominent as soon as the taste leaves. It's probably a good rum for it's price range, but far from the elite. 6 might be a bit low, but the description of 6 is quite accurate to the experience of Diplomatico Reserva - Tasty, but not great.
