Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

Tastes like smoke and leather. Good for sailing...

This is the rum to showcase beginners to set them down the path of rum appreciation.

This rum serves like a benchmark to me. It's a good sipping rum for a decent price. There's a lot of better ones but you can always have a dram and you'll enjoy it.

My favourite rum …. Smooth taste of honey, vanilla and caramel … like it

Delicious taste and finish, a great rum to start with if getting in to rum tasting.

This rum isn't for me it's a bit dry and notes like wine.

Diplomatico is a great introductory rum tuned to the American palate. When someone's only rum experiences are with Captain Morgan and Bacardi, this is a great intro to some of the flavors rum can bring. The more experience I get with the spirit the less I enjoy the overwhelming sweetness Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva brings, but it will always have a place close to my heart for opening the door to rum for me.

Smooth at first, with flavors of smoke, vanilla, a little dark chocolate, and some fruitiness with some coffee notes near the end.

This was my first foray into sipping rum and it did not disappoint.

I'll always have a fifth of Diplomatico in my liquor cabinet. I enjoy it neat in a lowball or snifter.

Easily the best rum I have tasted. Being a rum newbie this is by far the bestest(!) rum of them all. Price and quality match awesomely. :-)

It's very good but a bit strong in taste. I would say that Diplomatico Mantuano is a little bit better because it's more delicate and soft. Reserva Exclusiva is good but El Dorado 12 is the best one for me for now.
