Ron Diplomático Distillery Collection No.2 Barbet Rum

- Light copper in color. - Thin closely-spaced fingering down sides of Glencairn. - Nose is not particularly vibrant, but has subtle oak and old-fruit nuances. - Semi sweet and zesty. Big, moldy oak dominates. Light citrus and grassy notes on the backend. - Mouthfeel is thick, oily and sticky. Literally grabs onto my tongue and stays there. - 47% is noticeable, but stays out of the way. - This is quite unique and enjoyable. 4.1.

Its definitely good and complex in it's own way. Would still prefer a bottle of reserva exclusiva though

sweet vanilla nose with a caramel and fruit palate

quite dry. you can definitely tell it was aged in Bourbon barrels

Not really sure why folks rate this so low. It is an excellent rum, albeit a little pricey. It is just not as icky sweet as the Reserva Exclusiva. I found it to be an excellent sipping rum.
