Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

First review here. This one has been on my wish-list for a while after i found this site. The relatively short aging period made me a little skeptical at first, but it may actually be one of the reasons i love it so much. The taste to me manages to be mellow and spicy without having that heavy oak aroma and vanilla flavor that usually comes with longer aging. This is not my absolute favorite rum every day, but when i crave a sipper with less oaky notes and that mellow flavor there is nothing i have found yet that matches it.

Vyborny, kvalitni rum. Sladka ovocna chut, jemny a lahodný.

This is one of the best rum I've had to date, and I've tried a lot of good ones. It has an amazing smell of rich butter toffee, caramel, and butterscotch, with a light sherry taste that isn't strong enough to detract from the rum. Taste is an amazing follow up to the nose. Strong at 43%abv, but so good the added strength is perfect. Would pair well with a fine cigar. Simply an amazing rum.

Nice rum, only buy if you are into sweet rums. I like this one better straight up than it's little brother. If you like to mix it with coke you can just buy the cheaper "reserva" at almost half the price. Paid €34,-
8/10

This was my first "serious" rum and I still prefere this one more than Zacapa 23y. Nice smell, taste with lot of subtones and for myself the perfect balance between strong and sweetenes. For approx. 32 usd in my country is this rum nr.1 in price/quality pov.

The backbone of the Diplomatico range, this rum is both good for everyday sipping and special occasions. Less sweet than Zacapa, but with better balance and refinement. While a very good rum it lacks some complexity, so I tend to loose interest after a few glasses to go get something else for variation.

I just started drinking rum. This rum feels so good in the throat, it doesn't burn. The flavors in there are also a perfect combination. Lovely sipper!

First sip had me questioning everyone's sanity here, so much sugar! The taste grew on me, and maybe it's because I was coming from a dry Mount Gay Black Barrel, but it took a few nights of finding the right amount of rocks to put this on to cut the sugar. Have this for a dessert, not one I'll keep in the cabinet though.

sehr süß, fast schon ein Likör. Dennoch interessante Noten von Früchten und Gewürzen. Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.

I'm a fan in a cocktail but i'm not sipping it neat.
