Diplomatico Mantuano

Im on the search for rather cheap, but still enjoyable rums, when I come across this Diplomatico on sale for 23 EUR. And for this price its a really great rum for my taste! Never had any other Diplomatico, but I havent regret to try this one.

My daily tot without fail!

Salted caramel, spiciness and woody oak aroma. Comes with fruitiness of ripe peach and plum. Light hint of dark chocolate and coffee beans.

Dry, peppery and spicy. Follow with chocolate ganache and praline. A light touch of sweetness compare with Reserva Exclusiva which gives good balance to the spicy after taste.

Strong spicy woody finishing, with of bitter sweet milk chocolate and coffee beans.

This is a tasty rum in the line of the Havana club flavour profile with quite a bit of toffee caramel. I dont get the vanilla or oakyness a few others have mentioned online. It does say its a rum aged up to 8 years, I would say that it is mostly around 2-4 years. If you took the Havana Club 7 year and cut this with some younger Rums this would be close. Nice drop but Id take the Havana first especially with the price difference. Quite unlike the Anjeo which has more vanilla & oak and more a Bajan rum

Helt ok, lite för torr och mindre söt än reserva exclusiva vilket inte är någon nackdel.

But still good enough for positive rating. Next time I would of course pick Reserva Exclusiva, but if you care about the price, this is a right choice.

Reserva asi lepší, ale i tak nezklamalo. Silnější chuť alkoholu zbytečně potlačuje samotnou chuť rumu.

Diplomatico Mantuano got a very sweet tone. Nice but little too sweet for me. A nice smell and a good taste.

I drink most of my sippers on ice, like I did with this. A bit harsh, but I found a back end sweet smoothness as well

It is sweet and pleasant, has slight orange nose, but there is not much going on in the after taste. Maybe slight coffee, but I can be just imagining things.

Sweet but not too much, strong alcohol sensation on the nose. Cheap.
