Ron Diplomático Mantuano Rum

Dark almost burnt dry oak, baking spices, brown sugar caramel, and a hint of vanilla sweetness. Much less sweet and less refined than Reserva Exclusiva. I don’t mind the sweetness brought down a few notches, or even the darker profile. The dryness actually keeps me coming back for more of the sweet side. It’s a little too dry/bitter at times though. Good on its own but probably better as a mixer. $42 in Ontario.
