for a list of rums and their added sugar levels. Be aware though that the EU has recently put limits on the amount of sugar that can be added to a rum, so some will now have quite a bit less.
To be honest, I go for dry rums so I don't have much experience with sweeter ones.
I have tried Don Papa though, and it reminded me more of some of the spiced rums such ad Kracken or Chairman's Reserve Spiced.
Whether Diplomatico is worth it, I couldn't really say. I found it sweet, but much less so than Don Papa, but with a much more complex flavour. It rates very highly though, so might be worth a punt.

I would say diplomatic leans to the sweeter side- definitely worth trying in my opinion
Když pro začátečníka a sladší, tak tedy: Centenario 20 , Captain Morgan Private Stock , Legendario Elixir de Cuba...
Plus tvůj wishlist, ten je O.K.
Po čase pak: Quorhum 30 , A.H.Riise Non Plus Ultra, Centenario Real
Dobré je zkusit rovnou i nějaké sušší (bajan) rumy, třeba budeš překvapený a sednou ti : Mount Gay XO , Doorlys 14 yo
(Existují i šílené varianty rumů tzv. high esterové, třeba pro začátek nějaký Clairin?)
Pokud si chceš udělat jakýsi průzkum a nevyhazovat zbytečně peníze za láhve rumu co ti nezachutnají, pročti si nějaké recenze a zkus vzorky. U nás v ČR stránky: dramroom cz
Go for Diplomatico RE, Zacapa 23, AH Riiese and Plantation XO. You need to know this stuff. You may not buy them later, but they taste good in the beginning.
Don Papa it is almost considered a liqueur. Diplomatico is a good rum, better than Zacapa (my opinion). You should keep trying with Matuzalem, Pampero aniversario, they are good for a starter pack not expensive.
You should explore the rum world to see where your palate stands. Some dry, some not so sweet and some sweet rums. I, personally, just go for anything I haven't had in order to fully enjoy the voyage. Right now my favorite is R.L. Seals 10yr old but I continually find myself going back to ElDorado for some reason???? Try their 8, 12 & 15yr old.

Which rum for beginner ?
I have tasted like 5 bottles of rum. I really liked Don Papa. Also i want to try Diplomatico. Please not so expensive.
If you really like Don Papa, it sounds like you would be best going for the very sweet rums.

Thanks for answer. And what do you recommend for start? Is Diplomatico worth it?

Hello Martin,
Don Papa it is almost considered a liqueur. Diplomatico is a good rum, better than Zacapa (my opinion). You should keep trying with Matuzalem, Pampero aniversario, they are good for a starter pack not expensive.
i would try burgal 1888 very easy to sip
