A solid stepping-stone white rum at 47% that most RumX users treat as a mixer rather than a sipper. Expect light citrus, vanilla, botanicals and a surprisingly woody, slightly sweet profile in cocktails.

Review by Stefan Persson
This Diplomatico is not nearly as sweet as the DRE so it’s an easy choice to choose it before the DRE. The spices are soft and appears during the rather short finish.
Review by Mirjam van den Berg-Geers
Number 3 delicious with pineapple juice with a touch of brown rum
Review by Timo Groeger
Ist sogar pur einigermaßen trinkbar. Die Nase ist recht medizinisch und alkoholisch, es sind aber auch Zitrusfrüchte erkennbar. Am Gaumen überwiegend dann die Zitrusfrüchte und es kommt etwas Kokosnuss hinzu. Leider etwas zu alkoholisch.

I tried this in my Christmas chocolate cake and it was a hit. The first time I use a whit rum for baking and it's not the last time :-) Merry Christmas to all of you.
Review by heckto🥃
I'm not exactly a fan of white rum. This one doesn't convince me either. The aroma is almost imperceptible, with some spiciness, vanilla and spices on the palate. It is one of the better white rums, but still nothing for pure enjoyment. However, it is well suited for mixing.
Review by Surbiton Man
Very light nose offering complexity. Suggest this would work better in fruit based cocktails due to its sharpness as a mechanism to modify sweetness.
Review by Torsten vom Endt
Price-performance ratio is not right. Expected more 😔 Will be an expensive Cuba Libre 😥
Review by Gregor
Too little character for me
Review by RumBarfly
Nearly no nose to describe but what is there is delicate and subtle. The taste is complex, sharp and spicy, with an equally spicy hot finish. Pleasant but might be an acquired taste for some.

Taste nice, should be great in mixed drinks, great with White pairing chocolate From czech e-shop - www.Warehouse1.cz
Review by w00tAN
Definitely more honest than the Reserva. Good to drink neat, but it certainly shows its strengths as a mixer. With 47% also nice strength
Review by RumCzar
This is a sweetened dessert rum. It's 'unaged' so I can't complain about wood flavors. But really it doesn't taste like much of anything but sugar. I drink this neat. I won't rebuy.
Review by Claes Nilsson
Not at all measuring up to my expectation, I guess it was set to high. Not even close to be good sipping in my book, will explore some more in cocktails

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
"This is a really nice, well balanced white rum. It's not a high ABV grassy Agricole or a unaged Clairin. It's not a funky Jamaican Overproof. It's a lighter "ron" style of white rum with more flavour and balance, than most manage. At £30 and with the extra ABV this..."Read full review →
