    Pretty OK compared to the other previous releases. Still on the sweet side and good for beginners and dessert or an everyday rum. The nose is sweet with dried fruit, vanilla and a hint og oak. In the back i can fint a little coffee. The palate is sweet with fruit, vanilla and light chocolate. The oily palate also offers smoky oak with sherry notes. The finish is medium long with dried fruit and oak with a hint of chocolate. The nose the day after eminating from the glass is lovely.

    I expected a much sweeter rum, as I know the classic range from Diplomatico only. This i rum is quite OK as a dessert rum, but still on the sweeter side. Great for beginners, but with a miserable value per money ratio.

    The nose is inviting and one perceives fruit, chocolate, vanilla, wood, coffee and melon. The taste supports the nose and is supported by a slight alcoholic spiciness and sweetness. The finish is medium and underlines the overall impression. A very nice rum, not only for connoisseurs, but also for beginners. This rum is very accessible.

    You can't complain here either. You can taste a light armchair and vanilla. A really good rum that can be recommended. It also tastes great mixed with cola, but is also delicious on its own.
