Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

Specific rum taste, easy to recognise and popular with occasional rum drinkers.

I tried Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva at a party, where a friend brought this for us to taste.
It's more of liquor of rum but nonetheless it's a high quality "rum". The first noticeable smell and taste is that of vanilla and orange but this may differ from person to person.
It never disappoints at parties and it very smooth.

Try it!

Nice and smooth taste, aromas of orange peel, toffee, licorice. 12 years old in a wood oaks

Currently this is my favourite rum and I have a shelf full. 2 ice cube and some Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva is a match made by the rum gods.

Very good and complex in taste. Sweet but not too much and appreciated also by people who don't like sweet rums. Very good price/quality ratio.

This rum wants to sit on the tongue and evaporate, spreading flavor throughout. Some slight burn when swallowed, but not too much.

Smooth and soft. Not much nose action but a smooth taste with little afterburn. Not too sweet and not much layers in the taste. But for a nice and smooth sipping rum it’s perfect.

I bought this rum to add to my arsenal. It goes down easy and mixes well with pineapple or orange juice.

Rather sweet and syrupy, which I understand is due to added dosage. That said, a serviceable rum if you know what you’re getting into, inexpensive, and fairly common, so it’s a great bottle for “getting into rum” and won’t be off putting for folks who don’t usually like rum. Nice after a meal as a dessert or on the rocks as a “rum and coke”, though no coke is necessary 😉

I "discovered" this one a couple of years ago and am blown away of how great this tastes (as even a sipper!) for the price!

IF you have not tried this, run and get it NOW! The good news too, is it is now available at many, many resort destinations, so you can get it "on the road".

I literally have no other rums I have tasted in this $40 US to $80 US price range better than this! I ALWAYS have it at home, and typically the bottle is drained before anything else, it is THAT GOOD!

I recently brought it to a party loaded with the typical Scotch/whiskey drinkers and told them to try this, and even they loved it!!

Definitely a must try and/or keeper in your rum bar!
