Diplomatico Seleccion de Familia

Much more complex and less sweet than the Reserva Exclusiva. I enjoy this one much more. For me, it evokes a strong, dark honey (pine, chestnut, ...) mixed with green herbs (herbal tea) and chocolate. Sipping it reminds me of a lush tropical rainforest.

Die Nase ist angenehm und lässt neben Karamell, Vanille, Holz, und Tabak auf ein gesüßtes Produkt schließen. Am Gaumen bestätigt sich die Süßung durch Honig, Braunen Zucker und Rosinen und wird mit den Eindrücken aus der Nase ergänzt. Gut gewählte Trinkstärke. Der Abgang ist süß, würzig und holzig mit Aromen von Karamell, Vanille und etwas Kräutern, jedoch leicht verwässert. Dennoch eine Empfehlung wert.

This rum apparently has a higher proportion of pot still distillate than the two standard bottlings, however, the harmonious profile of this Spanish is masked by the high dosage. Too bad.

This Botucal is too sweet for me, although the 43% is a good fit. I had expected a little more. As I've already tried a few Botucals, I would prefer the Botucal #3 from the series, which has been my favorite so far.

Nothing exceptional, but much better than other Diplomaticos (Réserva in particular) sold in bars or supermarkets. With fewer added sugars, it's sure to go down well as a digestive.

Personally, one of the best rums I ever tasted, very round and fruity. Talking with a friend, we talked about how well overproof suits on Venezuelan rums and this product is proof of it. The nose on this rum is just a delicacy, highly recommended. :)

Molasses, roasted notes, raisin, honey and very very smooth. Less sweet than the reserva exclusiva but still on the sweeter side. Also more expensive.

Verkostet auf der The Village Messe 2026. Erstmal wae es schön, daasMaster Blender Nelson Hernandez anwesend war und die Flasche signierte. Ich empfinde den Seleccion de Familia als eine schöne Weiterentwicklung zum Reserva Exclusiva. Angenehme Vanille, etwas Holz, Rosinen mit einer Dosage um die 16g

This is a rum in the lower price range. That said its still a pretty good buy and in my opinion a good beginner rum as well because it is sweet and well balanced. The nose is sweet and fruity with wood, vanilla, nuts and a hint of honey. The palate is sweet, light and woody with fruits, vanilla and earthy notes. The finish is short to medium and sweet with wood, vanilla and raisin.

Clearly the Botucal nose, slightly less sweet and therefore more pleasant than the Reserva Exclusiva. Goes down very well, easy to drink. But neither complex nor exciting and still a clear honey-like sweetness.

Very pleasant improvement in comparison to original Diplomatico. The few years in sherry casks improve the roundness of the experience pretty well. The price is maybe little to much but still I am quite happy and I can recommend this one.

From a complete rum rookie: smooth, bit sweet (nor too much) but with a good variety of flavours. Finish is great, hinting at fruits and wood. Would have no problem buying this again.

Ich kenne ja schon den Diplomatico Reserva, der mir auch sehr gut schmeckt, dieser ist aber für mich noch besser. Sehr rund, Vanille und Honig, aber überhaupt nicht aufdringlich süß. Einer meiner Favoriten.

Very good, not as sweet as Diplomatico Exclusive

Åt det sötare hållet med mycket smak. Honung, tropiskt frukt och vanilj. Riktigt god.
