Top 30 Rums Countdown # 2 – Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva
Posted by Arctic Wolf on December 23, 2012
The Diplomatico Exclusiva Reserva has been on of my most favourite rums ever since I first tasted it four years ago. According to the Distilleries Unitas S.A. (DUSA) website, the rum they produce is distilled from “honeys derived from sugar cane” and fermented molasses. All of the stills and distillation kettles are made from copper. The website also makes it clear that flavouring and aromatic agents are used in the production of their rum, as this statement on the website attests:
“Only high purity distilled alcohols and rich aromas and flavours are used to manufacture rums…”
My feeling when completing a review is that the spirit should be judged on its own merits, rather than prejudged by my own misconceptions about how it should be produced. My Judging Panel agreed, as we declared Diplomatico Exclusiva Reserva the number 2 rum in the entire world:
# 2 – Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva
This is definitely a favourite of mine for sipping and for mixing, and still three years after my original review, still one of the best rums I have tasted.
