A snazzy looking rum all the way from Venezuela, Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva is a molasses based rum that is distilled in copper pot stills and matured in whiskey barrels. Top stuff for sipping neat or over ice, but also a very good bottle to have on hand when rum cocktails are on the menu. If you're feeling particularly experimental, try using Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva in place of a whiskey in a Manhattan. It works excellently. This fab rum was awarded a Gold Medal at the International Sugar Cane Spirits Tasting Competition in Ybor City.
Aromatic with hints of sultanas, chocolate, Christmas cake and gingerbread. Offers up bananas and custard with time in the glass.
Cocoa and vanilla, huge notes of oaky spice, brandy, plums and pepper.
Sweet coffee, Demerara sugar and oak.
I didn't know about the added sugar as reviewed below by other drinkers and yes it is sweet but, still is one of the best products I encountered in my 3+ as a bartender. So I still recommend it and maybe just give it 4/5*.
Great rum. Drink it neat, possibly the best rum I have drunk. It is slightly sweet, but smooth and very drinkable. Five stars from me!
This is not a rum. This is a liqueur. As stated below made of real stuff => sugar cane... and sugar blocks ! Frankly, would you add 40gr of sugar per bottle to a Macallan or Rosebank and still call it Whisky ?
Very nice, sweet but it is made of the real stuff, sugar cane. Highly recommended
I tried this for the first time recently and loved it. Has a unique nose and tastes a bit different to most I've tasted. Now on my wish list for the future.
