Ron Diplomático Selección de Familia

Don't know were my mouth was the 1st time I tried this but much better now 👍☺️

Won't buy it again 😏

Had the opportunity to do a side-by-side comparison between Reserva Exclusiva and Seleccion de Familia. In the beginning, it was hard to distinguish between the two, with the exception that RE is a lot sweeter. Based on the price, it gives me the impression that SdF is a better rum, but the website states that both of them are blend of rum up to 12 years old. After a few minutes, the SdF, started to set apart. On the nose, the RE gives me sweet, candy notes, but on the SdF, the sweetness/candy notes are a little muted. The palate on the SdF is a little more woody/leather/tobacco and less sweet, a little bitter. The finish is a little longer on the SdF, 43% ABV. Overall the SdF could be a good sipper.

Nose: Fruity and sweet. Difficult to discern specific aromas Palate: Citrus peel, slightly bitter Finish: Dry and warming

Whiskey like flavors, but with the sweetness of rum! Very good. Unexpectedly smooth for a 43%
