Diplomatico Mantuano

Taste is more sharp then soft.
It has strong vanilla smell. Also you can smell wood a bit.
Sweet but not too much.
A little bitter taste.

i like this. it's a bit simple, little too much alcohol taste. but not sweetened or at least badly. very pleasant. if it were aged a bit more or perhaps at a higher proof (maybe 90-95 instead of 80) it might get to a 7 or 8.... really, not bad at all for the price. can sip neat, on rocks, or mix without guilt.

In order of tastes: Alcohol, astringent, bitter, a LOT of sugar.

It’s not bad but it’s like if you were aiming to get right into the corners of one of those spider-web graphs.

Mixer basically.

But still good enough for positive rating. Next time I would of course pick Reserva Exclusiva, but if you care about the price, this is a right choice.

It tastes like cheap alcohol if just sipping at 15 deg C. However, things get better when you mix with cold tonic water and ice. The aroma revives itself and the taste of molasses come back as aftertaste. Not a bottle to remember though.

Still contains much of that flavour profile that people love about Diplomatico but holds onto a few medicinal notes. I will try using this as a mixer as every other Dipo I have tried is a much better sipper. Good for the price, but it's still a case of you get what you pay for. Fortunately when it comes to Diplomatico bad is still pretty damn good.

Reserva is way way better. This one lack complexity, balance... you can feel a lot of alcohol and just little hints of vanilla and caramel.

Good sweet smell with strong taste. Good rum but not the best.

Quite smooth and pleasant but not extremely rich taste with some alcohol and sweetness present. Aftertaste is not very strong.

Betydligt mer kraftfull än gran reaervan och en helt annan smakupplevelse
