Diplomatico Distillery Collection No2 Barbet

Aroma of this run is full of tropical fruits. Taste then offer sugar cane, wood and citrus fruits.

Really good, totally different taste to compare with No1.

Diplomatico Distillery Collection No 2. Barbet Rum !

Quick review:

On the nose- floral notes with vanilla, oak, toffee and bourbon.
First sip- a welcomed mellow burn right off the bat with rich dark flavors such as smoke, oak, tobacco and dark chocolate.
The finish has a sharp burn that only lasts for a moment or two but not at all over powering. Really reminds me a lot of a sweet bourbon.
When diplo made this rum it was a shot at all the sweet haters. They were going for much more of an unadulterated rum taste with less added sugar/color. Not the best rum I've ever had but not mad I made the purchase. Made from a continuous column copper still and aged in American oak barrels.
Na Zdrowie 😎🥃🤙

I like very much Diplomatico 12(reserva exclusiva) and somebody persuade me to try this one. But taste of this rum was what I expect from it, maybe it was question of alcohol 47 %, maybe something else but for me it was wasting the money.

taste - 7.5/10
smell - 8/10
sweetness - 8.5/10
price/value rating - 5/10

Velice povedená edice, příjemné pití. Doporučuji všem.

Meilleur que le No1 Batch Kettle. Bon rhum de dégustation un peu cher, mais le reserva exclusiva est un meilleur rapport qualité/prix. Si vous avez la chance d'y goûter, sauter sur l'occasion.

A light mahogany colour with a nice nose similar to most Diplomatico. After resting the flavour is dry but rich with Demerara sugar and mild spice. Little burn for 47% abv. and a long finish impress me. $80 at LCBO is good value.

I was expecting something very special and worth the price. I was sadly let down, it wasn’t bad but I did not find it special, some alcohol burn not a very lingering taste.

Didn’t taste as good as the no1 but me but smelt a bit nicer. Didn’t really enjoy it due to being new to rum. Really wanted to like these rums but just not ready yet so it’ll stay in the cupboard and maybe when I come back I’ll understand it better
