Weak aroma. Light and spicy. Not quite the finish expected, rough taste

Sipped on this neat. A fiery rum, with strong delicious vanilla flavor and nose. As the notes say, "I like it!"

Sekce rád se ho napiju s kamarády v lese u ohně. Čistý ale taky ničím zajímavý.

Very nice rum with a delightful taste. Fruity, sweet and with the round taste you get from oak barrels.

Quite average rum. I would pick other rums over this.
It’ll do in a pinch for an “on the rocks” rum. Exclusiva is the way to go, even at a higher price point.

It’s probably good, just not as good as Gran Reserva.

What can you say, the Diplomatico rums seem to be quite popular here. But then again, so is MacDonalds or Jack Daniels. Popular taste is rarely a good indication of quality. This stuff is sickeningly sweet and poorly made.

Diplomatico Reserva 8 40% (Venezuela)
Eye: Amber with copper tones
Nose: Opens with pronounced elements of grapefruit, old dry wood and molasses. It continues with weak honey, cotton and a hint of orange-zest, fat fish oil, and cheap praline that reminds me of light cooking chocolate. It is no immediate love, I can tell you that. It is so obviously colored, forced and juvenile. To me it smells like drink base.
Mouth: Could I be wrong? No, it even taste like drink base. It has that thin eau-de-vie taste that I dislike so much in a sipping rom. It is young and light and carries few own flavors. It is also short which is actually a forgiving feature in this case. The sweetness comes crawling after a while as do the vanilla. A weak buzz on the palate from the alcohol burn which is neither good or bad. Then a little caramel, honey and melted white sugar with faint hints of pear. That´s it folks! (30 minutes in some soot enters but it really doesn´t add anything.
Reaction: For some reason I had high hopes for this one. Unfortunately, there is no hope and it can´t be compared with anything I have rated so far. It doesn´t even evolve in the glass which is a first. It actually degrades in the glass which is a trademark of any bad product. As sipping rum it has to be the worst yet but that does not mean it isn´t great in a drink. I know nothing about that as I don´t usually enjoy rom based drinks.
