Ron Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva Rum

This is going to be honest..... was looking to get into something besides rye whiskeys, bourbons, and scotch. I’ve always loved rums when I was younger and I thought I’d go back and try some “sipping” rums like the pirates, ya know. Arrrgh. After reading tons of reviews online I landed on this particular rum. Well here goes.... Sweeeeeeet, sugar, sweet. oh my god did I mention sweet? Coming from the world of whiskey/scotch there is nothing this sweet besides maybe angel’s envy but it’s not sweet it only has a rum flavor from barrel aging. Anyway, it took me a day to post a review because I was so upset about my expectations vs reality with this liquor (or should I say liqueur?). It’s literally like pouring a sugar cube or five into a rum glass and sipping on it. I highly doubt this is what pirates drank. In conclusion, I’ll go back to my whiskey/scotch/bourbon world and occasionally tequila, which I also love, and stay away from rums if they all tast like this. Sorry this one’s not for me. Too much sweetness. What a waste of money. Ugh or arrrrgh! LOL

Love this rum. Smooth, sweet taste, no harsh bite. Could drink it all day

Wow wow. Buy buy. Then buy another. Smells like bananas foster. Tastes like molasses, leather, and banana. So good. Wish the finish was a hair longer. Wonder what this would be like 10 proof points high.... My favorite sipping rum.
