— After-dinner excellence

8/10

Skip the port and pour Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva after dinner. The dark chocolate, toffee, and brown sugar notes are more satisfying than most desserts. A splash of cream makes it even more indulgent. The Venezuelan origin adds an exotic touch that always impresses guests.

— Pure indulgence

9/10

Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva is liquid indulgence. Dark chocolate, butterscotch, toffee, vanilla, orange peel, and a whisper of coffee on the finish. The mouthfeel is thick and creamy. Is it traditional rum? Maybe not. Is it one of the most delicious spirits I've ever tasted? Absolutely.

— Too much added sugar for me

6/10

The flavours are pleasant — toffee, chocolate, vanilla — but once you know about the dosage (added sugar), it's hard to enjoy. This tastes more like a liqueur than a proper rum. If you like sweet spirits, you'll love it. If you prefer your rum unadulterated, look elsewhere.
