Diplomatico Ambassador Selection

Sugar: Estimated at 40 GPL. At the first sip I thought to myself this is it! You have found a perfect rum. I saved this review for my 150th review on Rum Ratings and I have to say that this is now all time favorite. Numero Uno!
Ambassador rum is so soft and sweet, and yet it's 47% ABV. Flavours of sherry, butterscotch, oak, vanilla, almonds, chocolate, fruits like banana with mango or apricots, all coming together in a wonderful explosion of taste. Smooth! Superb aromas in the glass and perfection on the tongue. For those who subscribe to the YOLO credo, go get this rum.

i expected more of this Special expensive Rum. the single vintage is fuller of taste than this.

What an explosion of tastes, complexity, sweetness, delicate, very balanced..first time I tasted a rum that really gave me a WOW feeling! My favourite rum so far. The budget speaks for its self..

Every serious RUM lover should taste it, to know how can the best rum taste.
Perfectly balanced mix of tastes and flavours, not sweet, not strong, full body with many layers and long aftertaste full of pleasure.
Very expensive for daily drinking, but if you can, try to buy one glas in some good restaurant and taste it.

Been waiting for this moment for some time. I am a fan of sweet rums, and Venezuela has a few of the best. I have the reserva and some of the single vintages among which the 2000 which is superb, but now that I got the Ambassador, I am in heaven. Strong but smooth, thick and sweet, but then again not too sweet, great to roll around on the tongue and incredibly full aftertaste. Absolute perfection, in a absolutely perfect presentation... which is what you have the right to expect at that price!

Well, I am disappointed :(
I was expexcting a Roller Coster with this one judging by the ratings, bottle and price.
Well nothing special about this one. I feel I have been tricked...
So yes, it is a good Rum, but I find it quite bitter, and the alcohol is all over the place, in the nose and in the mouth, covering everything else.
Even in the long aftertaste.
It has a nice thick consistancy, but not much aromatic developement. First and last bottle for me...

The best rum i ever tastet. Compared to the price Single Vintage is a better buy but this taste perfect! A fresher firsttouch and more pronounced aftertaste than Single Vintage

Fancy and good, easy to drink, but at this pricetag I can find better. Way better. In the diplo series I Would pick their s.v 2000 over this anytime and its half price.

Nice rum with notes of dark chocolate, raisins, molasses, figs, dates, cinnamon, blackberries, nutmeg, guava, treacle, mocha, and butterscotch. In a blind tasting this can be mistaken for a Spanish Brandy De Jerez.

I like diplomatico rums. This one has been in my sights for a long time. But I got dissapointed.

Smell is very woody, but tastes very similar to familia version, but not worth the money. In time, when familia version was not on the market, it made sense. But not now.
