Diplomatico Mantuano

NOT the rum I expected. Will only ude the for drinks.

There is nothing special about this rum - not to sweet, not to alcoholic.

Just tried this for the first time after reading lots of differing views, and finding a bottle. (£31).
My first impressions are very mixed. I thought this would be a lesser version of Exclusiva, but I was not prepared for the outcome.
It bears no resemblance to its "big brother", other than the bottle it comes in.
Having said that, it has a good colour,its very smooth on the tongue, no real discernible burn, more of a warming sensation, and a pleasant aroma of mixed fruit, but only mildly.
I read that " its a replacement for DRE, I hope that's not to be taken literally.
I would probably buy another bottle to dip into now and again, but I can honestly say that as smooth and easy to drink as it is, it will not "replace" DRE in my cabinet.
Cheers graham.

En lidt anden smag Diplomatico Reserva Exslusiva, bryder mig ikke specielt meget om den. Tror den kunne passe godt til drinks

This is another knockout from diplomatico, the flavour is subtle tones of caramel with no afterburn. I still prefer reserva exclusiva but remember this replaced diplomatico reserva which is much improved and a delight to drink on the rocks ...

au nez il promet de bonne sensation, mais en bouche il est un peu trop sec a mon gout, trop sur l'alcool... et n'a pas de longueur en bouche.
finalement je préfère son grand frère "reserva exclusiva".

I like this soft and smooth dark rum in the mix. Not very complex or exciting in taste, but well balanced and not as over the top with caramel like many other brown rums. A pity that sugar has been added.

Un rhum assez particulier et très différent du diplomatico classique. Assez portélevé sur la plante! À essayer!
