Diplomatico Botucal Mantuano

The smoothness makes this rum very drinkable. The taste of alcohol is very single. The taste of vanilla is prominent and makes this a sweet rum.

Skúsil som ho u kamoša. Je trochu menej sladký ako Reserva, viac cítiť alkohol ale vzhľadom k cene celkom fajn pitie. Aj keď za ešte nižšiu cenu je Plantation Dark a ten je vraj lepsi. Vo vôni vanilka, karamel a ja tam cítim aj cherry. Chuť podobná. Pokročilých rumarov neoslni ale pre začínajúcich fajn a aj do drinkov by sa určite hodil.

One of my favourite mixing rums! Smooth with lots of lovely notes !

A good run for the price. Enjoyable, good for mixing. Thumbs up.

Sweet dry fruits aroma- almost well aged twany port. Not how it tastes though..... starts sweet, dried fruits (dates, raisins) and caramel then moves to a woody (oak) caramel, slight cocoa and very slight spices at the end. Flavour fills your sense but does not last long which is disappointing. I like it but it’s not fantastic.

Diplomatico sympa avec goût de vrai rhum. Mais trais léger...

The taste is not so good. There are some rums with better taste in this price cathegory

В аромате - карамель, сухофрукты и дерево. Аромат насыщенный, но, в то же время, мягкий. Вкус приятный, с доминирующей карамелью, более резкий, чем Reserva Exclusiva, спиртуозность сильнее. Послевкусие, к сожалению, короткое и жестковатое, но, в целом, приятное. Хороший ром без затей.

Aroma: caramel, dried fruits and oak - rich and smooth. Taste is nice, caramel dominates, but it's more rough than Reserva Exclusiva - spirit bitterness is stronger. Aftertaste is, unfortunately, short and harsh, but still nice overall. A good simple rum.

Comparing to Diplomatico 12 years, it is not even close to this taste. Maybe good for drinks, but not for shots.

...as for a rum's newbie fan. I really love it, one of my favorite!
