At just over 45$ (even in the state beverage stores), Diplo isn't the cheapest - but also isn't the most expensive.
I prefer it over the 10$ more RL Seale 12 year though, and that's actually rated .5 higher at the time of writing!
Very good, neutral, nothing too wild. Won't knock you down with anything unexpected, but does what it does quite well.
Truly a unique experience! One of the first rums that I ever tasted and still one of my favourites.

Delicious and smooth. Plays nicely with others but also can enjoyed neat.

Used to really love this and it got me into sipping my rum. Has that buttery caramel vibe, it's easy to drink but I agree with someone else's review that it feels like a bit of liqueur. I like it and maybe I'd even order it at a nice bar but there's still so much rum out there to buy before I come back to this.
My favourite. Excellent. Smooth. Moderately sweet.

If you want to introduce a friend to the world of rum - it's either this or El Dorado.

This was my first experience with a sipping rum and I found it extremely approachable and delicious! It's on the sweet side, so if that's not your thing then this won't be either. Leaves more for the rest of us!
A very good run with solid body, and easy finish. A bit sweet with a cola, but worth the time.

As the title says, nothing wrong with this. Lot of people going on about how it's too sweet, but for the price it's a good rum. Don't expect anything too complex, but it great for sipping.
Super easy to drink. Smooth and just sweet enough.

Tried this at the Mai Kai last night, upon the recommendation of Kern Mattei, the manager, he said it was on the sweeter side which I enjoy. The nose was strong and spicy which belied the super smooth taste with hints of molasses and fruit. I will buy this eventually but settled on El Dorado 12 year for use in tiki recipes calling for a Demerara.
