($72 CAD) Well after a long search, I found the Diplomatico in Saskatchewan. For whatever reason, the Dip dipped from Alberta which unfortunately led to higher expectations. (Especially given them SK prices...)
Smells heavily of cola and molasses with a little vanilla, quite intriguing.
Taste is a bit subdued, but maybe I’m just used to the Mantuano which seems to have more character. Heavy dose of cola with a side of sweetness. Decent finish that holds some dried fruit and nuts with plenty of oak.
Overall: not bad. I think the Mantuano has much more value though. This dram is sweet and easy to drink but I would appreciate more character.
