Diplomático Single Vintage 2001

Made for people who love a sweet, dessert-leaning sipper: this 2001 vintage from Venezuela pours on caramel, dried fruit, dates and banana, with a sherry-driven fruitcake nose. One taster called it "one of the best i ever had," while others find the sugar dominates everything. Rich and gentle at 43%, best when you want comfort over complexity.

The community says
  • Caramel and dried fruit
  • Rich sherry notes
  • Keep in mind: High sugar content

Noticeable sugar note that goes beyond the pure product. Those who feel addressed by this will definitely find one of the better representatives of this kind here. What bothers me is the dominance of sweetness, as it unfortunately clearly overlays the rest of the distillate. Overall, it lacks complexity, the spectrum remains deliberately pleasing.

Soooo sweet. On the nose there is a very pronounced sherry maturation, dried fruit and caramel. The taste is very sweet, with a strong sherry and date note. Overall it’s unnecessarily thin. The price/performance ratio is nonsense, just another single vintage release.

Magnificent and indulgent nose of English candy, strong attack on the palate and melts into orange zest. Beautiful rum well made especially for a vintage...
