Diplomático Single Vintage 2001
Sweet-tooth drinkers and sherry-cask fans are the ones who light up here: caramel, dates, dried fruit and butterscotch over a soft banana note, with a nose people call "magnificent and gourmand." The catch is right there in the reviews too — the sugar runs heavy and can flatten the rest, and the body reads a touch thin. Best neat for dessert-style sippers.
- Rich dried fruit
- Lovely nose
- Long aftertaste

How does Diplomático Single Vintage 2001 taste?
Aggregated from 31 community reviews.
Sweet, sherry-and-caramel dessert sipper Loved by sweet-rum and sherry fans for its caramel-and-dried-fruit profile, though several tasters find it too sweet and a bit thin, with the sugar masking complexity.

One of The best i ever had
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Very close to the 2000 version, which I like a lot.
Review by Kieron Wood
This is top quality stuff and had I not had reserva exclusiva I would rate this a 10 but I think for half the price it's the same quality rum ... I love this but prefer ed21 at the high end of rum but would but reserva eclusivia for value , two bottles equal 1 of this and it's the same notes ...

Sött och gott. Fina sockertoner. Bra eftersmak!
Review by Filip Šikula
Taaaak sladké. Na nose je velmi výrazné sherry dozrávání, sušené ovoce a karamel. V chuti je to hodně sladké, s výraznou stoupou sherry a datlí. Celé je to zbytečně řídké. Poměr cena/výkon je nesmysl, prostě další SV plnění.
Review by Mc Pirate
Nez magnifique et gourmand sur le bonbon anglais, bouche forte en attaque et se fond sur du zeste d’orange. Beau rhum bien fabriqué surtout pour un millésimé…
Review by Jakob
Merkliche Zuckernote, die über das Reinprodukt hinaus geht. Wer sich davon abgeholt fühlt, findet hier definitiv einen der besseren Vertreter dieser Gattung. Mich stört die Fominanz der Süsse, da sie leider den Rest des Destillats deutlich überlagert. Insgesamt fehlt es an Komplexität, das Spektrum bleibt zu bewusst gefällig.

Too sweet for me nowadays.
