Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva

Diplomatico is a very well-known brand. As such, I drank a lot of it (Mantuano mostly) when I was younger. As I wanted to start a real rum collection, I wanted to avoid this mainstream brand, but the Reserva Exclusiva had a lot of great reviews. And in memory of the good old times, I ordered a sample of it.
As I tasted it in a blindtest, I really enjoyed it. My inexperienced palate didn't notice much apart from soft caramel, but in this "monochromatic" category, it really ruled. The alcohol is very subtle, almost no burn, the taste in strong, no bitterness. I really enjoyed it!

Still a great rum, but very sweet. Definitely the best Diplomatico that I have tasted so far

This rum is for someone who just wants to enjoy a nice enjoyable sip of rum or mix it in a cocktail.
The rum is sweet with vanilla and dark chocolate notes with a smooth spicy aftertaste.
Not much else going on. The rum is good, but easily forgotten in the endless ocean of other rums out there

Distinctive, sweet and rich taste. Very smooth and easy to drink. One of my favorites at the moment

Dieser Rum ist ein schwer Rum mit süßer Note. Er ist relativ dickflüssig und bleibt von Anfang an bis zum Ende seine Note treu.

A nice rum without too much aftertaste. Personally, I always recommend this rum as an entry-level rum, for people who are tired of the big brands. A door to the wonderful world of rum. What you will find in this rum is a nice green dark bottle. Not too big or special. The mix with cola has a nice smell and excellent mix, regardless of temperature. The traditional rum scent floats to the surface and it is relatively easy to drink. Pure it becomes a little less, the rum may or may not be a franction too strong for a beginner and also has little layering. Still a great rum to try neat.

Beautiful Flavors, Enjoyed with a single cube of ice

As many will say, somewhat more a liquor than a pure rum....but you know what? It's still awesome. Go treat yourself. Now.

Absolutely amazing rum. Possibly one of the bests I have had for its price class. Very very smooth and warm and deep flavours.

Very good rum and usually available across clubs and restaurants nearby (or also during the flights :D) Very sweet, taste of vanilla and chocolate.
