Diplomatico Mantuano

Rhum avec peu ou sans sucre ajouté (<10g/L) et trouvable facilement pour 20-30€.
Il semble être la version sans sucre ajouté de son frère (Reserva Exclusiva), et retire justement ce trop de douceur artificiel, malheureusement, ce "trop" est ce qui fait de Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva un rhum sympathique et agréable à boire (si l'on aime ce genre de rhum), laissant derrière des notes basiques et plutôt oubliables sans pour autant être désagréables.
Pourquoi pas, ce n'est pas un excellent rhum, pour le prix ce n'est pas choquant, mais c'est une bonne expérience pour comprendre ce qu'il y a sans les additifs de son frère. Simple et basique est son nom.

Pretty much fine rum for any evening, not the exclusiva, but still not bad.

Nice color and taste but more of a basic style rum

Great rum to start the night with love it with ginger beer and lots of ice.

Scent of apricot and chocolate, and taste of fruits and spices

This is my favourite so far. Better than Bacardi 8/10 which are similarly priced

Eye:
Nose: syrup, medicine and a touch of wood. Mashmellow also.
Mouth: anesthetic and toothpaste. White choccolate. Spicy finale

If your looking to get Diplomatico just keep your base line at the Exclusiva. No point in dropping down a noticeable tier just to save a few bucks. The Exclusiva is superior in every way and is not much more in cost compared to quality.

Fino, fali malo slatkoce, alkohol fino grije......

Most people would not think of rum to taste like this, especially those who already have preconceived notions on what rum tastes like. In that sense, this is a good rum to introduce them with: woody and sweet without being too overpowering. For its "starter" quality I'd rate it 7, but if it's just for taste I'd dock it a point lower.
