Diplomatico Seleccion de Familia
Most enjoy its smooth, honeyed vanilla and mild oak; critics find it too sweet, simple and a bit watered down. Overall seen as a pleasant, beginner-friendly Venezuelan sipper.
Those who enjoy sweet, soft rums like Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva but want something a touch drier and more “grown-up” for relaxed neat sipping or digestif pours.

Ich kenne ja schon den Diplomatico Reserva, der mir auch sehr gut schmeckt, dieser ist aber für mich noch besser. Sehr rund, Vanille und Honig, aber überhaupt nicht aufdringlich süß. Einer meiner Favoriten.
It is better when chilled
Geruch sehr angenehm. Ganz ganz leicht nach Alkohol. Leichte Frucht. Geschmack angenehm mild. Noten von Karamell und braunen Zucker. Kurz etwas Schärfe aber sehr angenehm. Abgang relativ lange. Durchaus mein Fall. Wäre eine Flasche wert
Much more complex and less sweet than the Reserva Exclusiva. Enjoy this much more. This for me reminiscent of a strong, dark honey (pine, chestnut,...) mixed with green herbs (herbal tea) and chocolate. Sipping it reminds me of lush tropical rainforest.
