Diplomatico Mantuano, Premium Venezuelan Rum, 70cl, 40% ABV

I bought this as an alternative to the more expensive Reserva Exclusiva and was not disappointed. Mantuano has a lovely smooth flavour with just the right balance of sweetness and spice. On the nose you get caramel and vanilla with a hint of dried fruit. The first sip brings out notes of brown sugar, raisins and a touch of oak which makes it feel warm and rounded without being too heavy. It is not as sweet or syrupy as the Reserva which actually makes it more versatile. This is a bottle you can happily sip neat or over ice, but it also works brilliantly in cocktails. I’ve used it in an Old Fashioned, a simple rum and cola and even a daiquiri and it holds its flavour well without being overpowering. The finish is smooth with a little spice that lingers nicely. At this price point it is hard to beat. It feels like a premium rum without the premium cost. If you are new to sipping rums this is a great place to start, and if you are already a fan it makes a perfect “house” bottle to keep on hand. It might lack some of the complexity of higher-end rums but for everyday enjoyment it is superb.

This Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva is an absolute treat for any rum enthusiast. From the moment I opened the bottle, I was captivated by its rich aroma of dried fruits, caramel, and spice. What makes it special: Exceptional Smoothness: This rum is incredibly smooth with a velvety texture. It's incredibly easy to sip neat, but also pairs beautifully with a splash of water or ice. Complex Flavors: The flavor profile is a symphony of caramel, vanilla, oak, and subtle notes of dried fruits and spice. High Quality: Diplomático is known for its exceptional quality, and this Reserva Exclusiva certainly lives up to the brand's reputation. Overall: This Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva is a truly exceptional rum. It's a perfect choice for special occasions or simply enjoying a luxurious evening at home. I highly recommend it to any rum lover seeking a truly memorable experience.

Not typically a rum drinker as I've never been able to find one I can drink neat until I discovered this. Smooth and pleasant depth of flavour. If you mix your rum then save your money and go with a more affordable option.

Tasty rum, my partner was very pleased with his present

Normally but the normal diplomatico but this is a welcomed change and much cheaper. If you like the OG you will alo like this.

This is hands-down one of the best spirits I’ve tried. The flavor is smooth and well-balanced, with just the right mix of warmth and depth. You can really taste the quality in every sip — it’s clear that a lot of care went into the craftsmanship.

Taste so good, I kept sipping on the evening. It could be used for cocktails, I'm sure, but enjoyed on its own.

A great, mellow rum, but you can get it cheaper in Asda!

香りも味も最高！
