Citrus and coconut lead a minty, slightly medicinal nose; spicy, buttery palate with some sharpness. Often praised as a strong cocktail base, especially for daiquiris, with ice softening the edges.

    This Diplomatico is not nearly as sweet as the DRE so it’s an easy choice to choose it before the DRE. The spices are soft and appears during the rather short finish.

    Number 3 delicious with pineapple juice with a touch of brown rum

    Ist sogar pur einigermaßen trinkbar. Die Nase ist recht medizinisch und alkoholisch, es sind aber auch Zitrusfrüchte erkennbar. Am Gaumen überwiegend dann die Zitrusfrüchte und es kommt etwas Kokosnuss hinzu. Leider etwas zu alkoholisch.

    Very light nose offering complexity. Suggest this would work better in fruit based cocktails due to its sharpness as a mechanism to modify sweetness.
