Diplomático Mantuano Rum

Agreed with Luxurious below - I've tried both this and the Reserva and outright prefer this one. It's tremendous in a daiquiri as well as neat; ideal paired with a bit of orange dark chocolate!

I like this one, slightly orangey on the nose and a long finish with a touch of coffee. Maybe slightly on the pricey side for what it is. I generally prefer Jamaican rum and find some of the Latin American ones too sweet but not this one.

Very pleasant sipping rum, rich and slightly spicy with a luxurious oily texture. I actually prefer this to the, much more expensive, ‘Reserva’, which I find too sweet.

Solid sip for the price! Some nice simple flavours for a beginner into rum.

It's also great as a starter sampler to get the pallet going before moving on to somthing with more complex flavours!

Shhhh. Better than Santa Teresa 1796 but half the price.

I`ve spent a wee fortune on samples to find my preference..this is it..low burn , lovely aftertaste..orders issued
for birthdays and christmas.

Great in a cocktail, stick to Diplomático Reserva for neat sipping rum. For the price it's ok.

Good for mixing, not for sipping

I like it I cannot lie, initially weary of all the reviews I'd read of it being a cheapo version of reserva but I have to say it's nice and stands up well as it's own.

This is like a younger sibling of Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva. The same flavours are there, but not nearly so deep and strong. Now for many, and myself included, this could be a good thing, I find DRE to be a lovely drink, but OTT in sugar and flavourings, the odd nip is nice to experience but more than that it is cloying and a tad sickly.
Mantuano, however, is lighter in taste, but to my palette, has way too strong an alcohol/chemical burn and taste.
If Diplomatico made a rum somewhere in between the 2 it might just be near perfect.
