Diplomatico Mantuano

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

No great, not bad. The reserva one is much better and worst of the few extra bucks.

Not a good rum compare to reserva exclusiva..for this money you have so many better rums to buy.

Not so sweet and complex like Reserva Exclusiva, but typical Diplomatico character. Shorter aftertaste. Ideal for mixing or not so much experienced visits 😁

This is like a younger sibling of Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva. The same flavours are there, but not nearly so deep and strong. Now for many, and myself included, this could be a good thing, I find DRE to be a lovely drink, but OTT in sugar and flavourings, the odd nip is nice to experience but more than that it is cloying and a tad sickly.
Mantuano, however, is lighter in taste, but to my palette, has way too strong an alcohol/chemical burn and taste.
If Diplomatico made a rum somewhere in between the 2 it might just be near perfect.

I really enjoy this rum. I look forward to trying others from this distiller. As always, I prefer my rum over ice with a healthy splash of Coke.

This pours a rich mahogany colour and has a wonderful nose. Diplomatico rums have always suited my taste, so I was hesitant when they replaced the Reserva with Mantuano. The Reserva made a better rum and coke ,but the Mantuano is a bit smoother ,making a better sipper. Not as sweet as DER but just as good.
