Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

My local Cocktail-Bar says this is the best choice for Cuba-libre. And yes they are right. This rum almost tastes a bit like coke, so it is a great combo. As a sipper it is also fine, smooth, sweet with a hint of smoke.

I was exited to taste this rum since I heard a lot about it. I have to say the sugar is a bit too much in this one, it kind of overpowers everything else, sugar coats your mouth and hide some of the notes from the oak. However it feels like a good quality distillate. if you are into sweet rums and have a sweet palate this might be the one for you.

yes i know, one of the best starting rums in the world. i agree. but in the end it is round and round and round. nothing more :). if you like sweet rums, you rate it much better than I!

Definitely one of my favorites, but not good enough for a 9. By far one of the best for the money along with Santa Teresa 1796. Great flavor, and almost perfect amount of sweet. While you would be more likely to enjoy higher lines of Diplomatico such as 2000 and Ambassador straight up, this one is better on the rocks.

Smooth, smooth, smooth and buttery sweet. Puddingy. Beautiful. Did I mention sweet? And puddingy?

this is a good rum to drink straight. i wouldn't mess with it by mixing. Not the best i've had, but still real good.

pleasant smell and color . fine taste for a good price . Great rum for every occasion.

Nothing out of the ordinary but pleasant to sip on. Would buy it again.

One of my favourite rums with great taste. I recommend to everyone

This is a cost effective time rum to have on hand.
I enjoy it straight. Has a little bite and a little sweet to it.
