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 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 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.

Too little character for me
Review by Torsten vom Endt
Price-performance ratio is not right. Expected more 😔 Will be an expensive Cuba Libre 😥

Taste nice, should be great in mixed drinks, great with White pairing chocolate From czech e-shop - www.Warehouse1.cz
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.
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 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 Markus Fjellstad Israelsen
No nose to speak of, and on the taste it reminds me more of a vodka than a rum. Do think it will be well suited as a mixer, but will not be sipping it neat, that’s for sure. Probably won’t buy this one again.
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
