This Reserva is made from rums averaging 8 years old. It's a dark gold-colored rum made from a similar composition of Diplomático’s blanco, with a 50/50 blend of molasses-based rum distilled in column-stills and sugarcane rums distilled in copper pots; it is aged in used bourbon barrels.

FX 3.0

It is not a great rum, would maybe not even go into my good rums section, as I tasting so many betters rums, but like his older brother, the ratio quality/price is amazing. I bought a bottle because I was curious, and because for the price it could anyway end up in my mixer section, to make cuba libre for instance. I tasted first neat, together with a glass of the Exclusiva Reserva next, and I was well surprised. It has many of the aromas of the ER. It would need to be aired more as the alcohol is much more present at first then with the ER, and I think an ice cube would do him good too, but at the end, you can really enjoy even as a sipping rum, which for his price, is surprising. Sugar: 7 GPL

FLAVOUR: Nutty Herbal Marzipan Lingering Sweet Finish NOSE: Nutty - Almond Sweet Vanilla COLOUR: Golden Amber EXPERIENCE: Warm almond, extremely nutty with a lingering finish this would be a great addition to cocktails to give a distinct flavor.

Venezualan blended aged (in the Smuggler's Cove categorization). Several friends have enjoyed this more than I have, probably a little too laid back to add much sting to your tiki drinks, but presentable on the rocks.

E Pappas 3.0

Sweet, spiced. Hints of vanilla caramel, sweet herbal smells. Light and full. Sweet flavors of vanilla, apple, sugar. Dark gold colored, light bodied. Sweet and rich.

Keyvanjonez 4.0

Wet leather, orange marzipan, spice on the nose. Sweetness like you'd expect from a rum with a lingering finish. All in all quite nice
