I have finally found a bottle of Diplomatico rum. (About $45) I was surprised to discover that it is REALLY sweet - like a liqueur. It has a nice flavor, but is just too sweet for me so I'll stick to the Pampero Aniversario as my dark rum.

Pampero is one of my all-time favorite sipping rums, and generally is my go-to rum if I'm going to carry a flask somewhere. Do you really use it for mixing? It's VERY good, and even rum newbies sip or taste it for the first time and love it. It fools a lot of people who would never guess that it's a rum, that's how good it is. I never let my bar run out of Pampero. I also never use it for mixing, but it would be a very good indulgence to do so. Why not mix with it? It is sooooo good! Gotta try a daiquiri with it.....

Smuggler's Cove uses it in their Pampanito cocktail, which is one of my top 5 favorites on the menu. I've also used it in a mai tai in a pinch.
