Diplomatico was one of the first sipping rums I tried, and the main reason I purchased it was because the bottle itself is one of the more interesting ones I have seen for a rum. I was certainly not disappointed with this rum.
By far one of the smoothest rums I have drank, and the flavour itself is almost overwhelming. It is quite sweet with a strong vanilla taste and an aftertaste I cannot put my finger on.
Definitely worth the money.

This might be the best all-rounder out there. Besides strong cigars there is nothing this rum can't handle.

This is without equal for me. Smooth as butter, long finish. Caramel, nutmeg, and some cinnamon on the nose and in the mouth. Burn is minimal.
The ultimate sipper for my taste!

This rum has a perfect balance, great color and perfect, deep taste. Absolutely great!
Very nice rum.
Beautiful bottle
Nice amber color in glass
Sweet smell, vanilla, brown sugar
In the mouth it's sweet and Just enough heat. Its oily in the mouth which I love.
Finish is very smooth.

Exclusive is spot on! Good vanilla hints with fruity and spiced notes. Smooth on the throat as well as the wallet!

Diplomatico is a classic !! a good choice to enter in the word of old Rum.
Sweet but not too much, tasty but not too much. Only one problem first glass ask for more :-)
A very impressive Venezualian product, super balanced, although a bittoo sweet.
Un rhum au goût et arômes excellent. J'ai testé les diplomatico dans l'ordre d'âge et quel bonheur de terminé par la reserve qui se laisse déguster simple ou avec une pierre de glace. A conseiller

It's a good rum to drink but the flavor didn't caught me as teh El dorado 12 year did. The bottle though is very nice !!

Aroma of warming alcohol and vanilla. Sweet on the nose. Vanilla forward, sweet but not cloying upfront. This is a medium bodied rum. The finish is a bit sweet but warmth and a slight bitterness lingers. Not as complex as I expected based on all the reviews. Easy sipping and good but a little simplistic to my palate. If you don't like sweet rums then I'd avoid but if you do then go for it! I'd give it a 7.5 but I rounded to 8. Definitely a crowd pleaser.
