Diplomático Mantuano

A solid, easygoing sweet rum with caramel, vanilla and light dried fruits. Widely seen as pleasant and good value, though simple and a bit thin for more advanced palates.

Approachable sweetness
Good value

I think this would be a good rum for a starter into the rum world. It is a little more spicy than other rums from the same distillery. In the nose I found some figs and chocolate and I got notes of dried fruit, vanilla and spices, kind of an orange-y finish

    I think this would be a good rum for a starter into the rum world. It is a little more spicy than other rums from the same distillery. In the nose I found some figs and chocolate and I got notes of dried fruit, vanilla and spices, kind of an orange-y finish

    7,7:The nose of this rum is very typical. It is a work around caramel, with a well-burnt and dark tendency, lot s of tropical fruit-banana....Coffee and molasses are mixed in to create a dense and concentrated liquid. Then we oscillate between melted wood and notes of wet cardboard, before the pepper comes in to give it a little kick and freshness. But that's without counting on the vanilla which adds to the sweetness and the sugary sensation. After airing the cane has a chance to stick its head out again. It now appears with its straw and even a little bitter lime zest, all very candied and melted though. The woodiness is dusty, it's a roasted nuts at the end. 7,8:The palate is quite balanced and again very typical. There is an impression of sweetness which is balanced by the dryness of the roasted nuts. Then this palate becomes decidedly round and flattering, with notes of honey, molasses, coffee and light tobacco, slightlysmoky. It remains quite intense and not so sweet. Vanilla appears in touches, linking the wood and the sweetness, again tropical fruit-banana as a leader. 7,4:The finish is soft and rather discreet, it vanishes quite quickly.

    Drinking it neat, without ice. Fruity nose and strong woody taste. Warming without burning. Looooong taste. Great rum

    Primarily sweet on the nose. Vanilla, caramel and banana? Then rather flat in the mouth, sweet here too, vanilla and caramel, perhaps also some milk chocolate. The finish is short and flat with vanilla, a little sour and despite the 40% alcohol can be tasted.
