4.0
4.0 out of 5 stars
This is a whiskey drinker’s rum. Dark brown. Nose is a boozy vanilla dry brown sugar. Fruity complex caramel scent of your tounge. Fairly light and thin consistency. Dry and fruity when it hits the mouth, and actually tastes like a light highland scotch. Aftertaste is moderately long and more light fruity. No burn at all. My only complaint is that it would be much better with a little higher proof.

Nose: molasses, brown sugar, vanilla, leather, toffee, caramel
Taste: reflects the nose. Deep, rich, bold flavors with a long finish. Definitely worth trying for any rum fans
Nose- caramel creme brulee with a hint of maple. There is a bit of smokiness just like the crust on creme brulee.
Palate- Greated by flat cola. This is a sweet treat! I am hit with a mouthful of brown sugar and boozy maple syrup. There is a playful note of pineapple in the background. This all fades to chewy caramel and a drizzle of chocolate sauce. This is really nicely done!
Finish- no burn whatsoever, but a gentle warming feeling. That maple syrup goes out on a stack of pancakes.
Overall- If you are toying with the idea of diving into rum, this is the bottle you should buy. For its inexpensive price it gives you all of those nice sweet tropical tastes. It is sweet but delectably so. For those of you who crave rum funk, this isnt that. What this is is a rum definately outkicking the coverage, and worthy of your attention! A diamond in a sea of everything that calls itself rum. Delicious on the rocks too. Totally enhanced my cigar in my second tasting. This is a winner!
From the first sip to the last drop in your glass, the taste of honey is prevalent. Unlike its nose, which smells like alcohol / ethanol more than anything. The syrupy taste is quite pleasant, a bit flowery, woody and spicy but nothing too extravagant but that feeling of drinking ethanol and the little stings in your nose clearly refrain this rum from deploy all its flavours and it is a bit of a shame. This Diplomático flagship could have been better while still highly enjoyable.
