Very smooth rum and good day to day rum. I had more expensive rum not as good as the Diplomatico.
A rum I could sip on for days. Smooth and plenty of sweetness with a slight smokey aftertaste.
I typically go for rums that are not too sweet. This was a good one, but would have been better at the end of dinner. It was really good, but really sweet.
Finished more then 10 of this bottles. One of the best in this pricerange

I Tasted this rum at first on A Holiday in Austria and it loved it straight away!
At first it gives some woody and caramel/vanilla smell! First taste give some fruity tones with a very slight burn, in the aftertaste there comes some oak and caramel flavour to it.
I became a fan of diplomatico, ist very accessible to get your friends understanding the joy of Rum!
This goes down very smoothly. One of the more commercial rums from diplomático (not rare) but great quality

I have to say I find some of the negative comments about this little beauty a bit uncalled for. I also have to say I am no expert in Rhum but whilst people get carried away with the aficionado talk about it not being a Rhum because its too sweet, this may, in fact, be a shortcoming in their knowledge. I'm not going to go into a chemistry lesson about sugars but in summary, this sugary taste can also be achieved in the process without adding sugar to sweeten it and can be in fact a byproduct of the process and may be intentional for the reasons mentioned in the negative comments, however, it does not necessarily make it a liqueur. I and many others like this Rhum and that is what matters. It's a bit like people who say it's an awful wine because the experts say it is, when in fact it could be very nice. I think maybe the wording should actually read something like "it's a little/too sweet for my palette" not condemn it to not being a Rhum.
