Diplomatico Ambassador Selection

Toujours dans son écrin de bois et de satin, mais promis je le débouche bientôt ;-)

Enfin dégusté, en présence de José Ballesteros himself ! et bien il mérite la note maximum. Moins réduit que le reste de la gamme, il est puissant, épicé, malgré tout il garde la signature Diplomatico avec la vanille et le caramel très présent. On reste sur le sucré et les Français amateurs d'agricole resteront sur leur faim.... Seulement 5000 bouteilles produites par an. Sa qualité (et son packaging) font de lui un vrai premium.

meget fyldig, knap så sød som forventet. Super lang og kompleks eftersmag. Mærker ikke de 47 % som sprit, mere som dybde og intensitet i smagen. Super oplevelse.

Not great at this price. Nice packaging and great bottle but I'd rather save my money and by the vintage 2000 or Reserva.
This is a dry rum with sherry hints, it is smooth but one dimensional. Add an ice cube and it mellows.
I prefer sweeter rums, ill buy two of the vintages at this price and the Star Anise taste becomes annoying when you pay this kind of money.

Très cher, trop peut être...
j'ai mis du temps a l'avoir, mais je le voulais, et il vaut le coup.
fruits secs, épices et vanille avec une pointe de fumé par dessus.
Très complexe, la finale est longue et chaleureuse, c'est une invitation pour réitérer l'expérience...
je l'adore et vais le boire lentement... pour l'amortir...

I had high expectations considering the reviews and hefty price of that rum. Indeed it is a great rum but it did not 'wow' me enough to get a 10. I tasted it after the Vizcaya and thought the latter was smoother but Diplomatico Ambassador has a more complex taste. I guess I need to give it a second try.

this is a absolutely amazing rum its like miracle in a bottle but the for the price-tag i would find others

il a tout d'un grand: aspect, odeur, goût et longueur frôle la perfection

the peak of all the rums I tasted it's for special occasion paid over $280 so you can expect something special and it is, if you can afford it try it.

Was not expecting the quality of this rum. The reserva exclusiva is pure sugar water and the single vintage line is decent, but this is something else. That said, the diplomatico lineage is still obvious. The nose is thick, with full, soft, oaky notes, a bit of chocolate, flambed banana and heavy caramel. The first sip surprises a bit. It's fat and oily with a deep, yet soft and subtle caramel and chocolate character. Notes of prunes and banana also peaks out. The deep caramel note is countered by full, complex, oaky notes, but it's not particularly dry. The strength of the rum builds up the notes and makes the taste full and interessting, but still pleasant at the same time.There's a very long, big bodied aftertaste, and you feel a nice heat building up in your mouth and chest. If you feel like parting with a substantial pile of cash and like sweet rum, consider throwing it at this. it's good but considering the pricetag and slightly masking sweetness, this rum can't compete in this price bracket.

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.
