RNDC (Young’s Market)® Diplomatico – 6057131311263

Nose- complex and characterful, with notes of maple syrup, orange peel, brown sugar and liquorice.
Mouth- sweet toffee fudge and a seductive and elegant finish.

Enjoy it neat or on the rocks. It can also be used in elegant and sophisticated cocktails such as Manhattan, Old Fashioned, and Savoy Daisy.

“The bouquet offers integrated scents of roasted chestnut, dried tobacco leaf, maple, orange zest, brown sugar, cinnamon and egg cream. The palate includes flavors of old oak, wood resin, molasses and tree sap. Concludes intensely sap- and maple-like.”

– Wine Enthusiast

“Spicy, medium-to-heavy mouth feel, buttery, fruity and spicy all at the same time, slight touch of sulfur and tobacco notes lets you know it is a molasses rather than a cane rum. Nutty, spicy, finish is long, but subtle. Slightly dry nutty finish with sweetness rather than a nasty sweet cloying that some rums have. Very gentlemanly, balanced, and of course diplomatic. Damn nice mixing rum and cheap enough to use and not worry about wasting it. Complex for its age and spicy enough to stand up to other ingredients. Pretty amazing stuff especially for the price.” – Spirits Review

“If you see a cocktail on a menu with Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva in the ingredient list, buy it. Doesn’t much matter what else is in it. I guarantee you’re going to have a hell of a good drink. Exclusiva features heavy notes of coffee, licorice, and dark brown sugar — both on the nose and much more intensely in on the palate. Dark chocolate is heavy on the finish, with a touch of maple bar. The rum is extremely gentle and pleasant, no burn or bite at all — to the point of dangerousness. It’s simply far too easy to sip on glass after glass of this stuff without realizing quite how much you’re drinking.” – Drinkhacker
