“With this rum, many have discovered their love for rum. By the sweetness and complaisance the ideal entry. Meanwhile, however, it is clearly too sweet and one-dimensional for me. Nevertheless, a recommendation for all who want to collect their first steps in the pure enjoyment of spirits.”

“This is a very nice reserva from Diplomatico. Well balanced in the spices and fruit.Let it rest in the glass first and then rest in your mouth as well. Smooth and very good with a cigar.This one is definitely asking for seconds.”

“Very sweet, but well balanced in flavors. A good rum to start with. Unfortunately, the rating suffers from the choice to sweeten it with sugar...and I think I may have held myself too high.”
