Taking the place of Diplomático Blanco, Diplomático Planas is made with Venezuelan rum which has been aged for six years before being charcoal filtered to remove its colour. This allows it to be used in cocktails where altering the drink's hue would be unwelcome, but continuing to give it those yummy aged rum flavours.
Vanilla rich, with hints of fresh coconut, lemon and black tea.
Chewy toffee and funky grass notes, with a lingering spiciness of fresh chilli.
Drying peppery spice and a hint of juicy apricot.
Lovely smooth.
Neat the taste is non-descript, and is incredibly brutal in the finish. It’s like drinking a glass of fire! Things don’t really improve much when mixed with Coca-Cola either. Yes of course it becomes easier to get along with when mixed with coke, but it still tastes rather bland. I’d say Diplomático Planas tastes a little bit like Reserva Exclusiva but nowhere near as good. The only positive I can say about this Planas, is that at least I can use it as a base rum in cocktails that I wish to create. In fact for cocktails this rum will be perfect. Every cloud eh!
A great wine shop recommended this to me. I asked for a white rum for cocktails that was good enough to sip. Now, personally I find this too fiery and rough to enjoy neat, but it's become a benchmark as a mixer fro me. Sweet, though not ridiculously so; it's complex with some age evident in there. I've taken to mixing two rums together in cocktails, and this works great with Clairin Communal in a pina colada!
