Diplomatico Mantuano

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.

Overall a perfectly acceptable offering. Reasonably priced , a lot less sugar than D.R.E. and a nice mixer , cocktail rum and at a push , a sipper ! Spicey , not the best spices but the caramel , toffee and raisin flavours keep it in check. Nothing to disappoint.

You can buy it almost in every little shop here, so if there is nothing better, you buy it. It's also cheaper than Reserva. But there is a reason why it's cheaper. The alcoholic smell and taste is too much for me.

This was my first Diplomatico, and my first truly sweet rum. Good rum, very smooth with a notable sweetness. Good enough for sipping, but I prefer dryer rums. Still a good score for excellent value. Looking forward to tasting the reserva exclusiva.

I like Reserva Exclusiva, but Mantuano proved to be a good option.
The distillate has quality, and has less sugar than Reserva Exclusiva.
Simple flavor, but cheap for the quality it has.
I recommend.

Medium amber colour. Notes of vanilla with background of subtle roasted oak. Good enough to sip neat.

Rum na kazdodenne pitie. Nie je taky sladky a chut je velmi vyvazena.

Chuť a potenciál Exclusiva by tam bol, trčí liehovosť a mladší vek ale cena k výkonu je viac ako slušná.
