Sipped neat, this is the drier, more grown-up side of Diplomático — nothing like the syrupy Reserva many expect. Vanilla, chocolate and raisins on the nose, then caramel, a little oak and dried fruit on a palate that reads bourbon-like more than sweet. At 43% the alcohol sits well in the background. A few find it thin; give it time in the glass.

- Chocolate and raisin

How does Diplomático Single Vintage 2013 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Drier, bourbon-leaning Diplomático that splits opinion Genuinely divides people: some taste it as thin and still too sweet, others as a dry, well-integrated surprise from a brand known for candy. The bourbon-ish palate wins most over.

2013 innovation - fresh design - since the acquisition of brown forman - work on a differentiating profile. 3 distillations: column, batch kettle, pot still, then cask. Nose: a little brighter, quite tangy, melon? Slightly empyreu, banana vanilla. Mouth: a little too banana / bourbon, a little simple with a smoky return. Not bad. Blind taste: very bourbon-like, pleasant but confusing.

#6328 06/08.02.2026 My first visit to The Village in Nuremberg and it was a very pleasant surprise. I will definitely attend again as there is more than enough rum going around. Usually these rums are pretty sweet, but this one was surprisingly well balanced. Nice and fruity with some nutts and light leather notes and ABV is barely noticeable. I was lucky they had some for sampling, just shows it pays off to ask nicely 😊
Review by Korkennase🥃
Die Nase ist komplex, mit Vanille, Melone, Trockenfrüchte, Fasseinfluß, nussig. Der Geschmack besticht durch Süße, fruchtige Akzente, Kakao und etwas Holz. Der Abgang ist lang, trocken, floral und im Hintergrund etwas Eierlikör. Der Rum benötigt viel Zeit im Glas🥃. Ich glaube, zwei weitere Jahre Lagerung hätten diesem Rum gut zu Gesicht gestanden.
Review by Thomas
Bei den aktuellen Sonderpreisen (teil. Unter 100€) eine gute Wahl für beginnende Rumliebhaber. Mäßige Süße, etwas Holz, der Alkohol bleibt im Hintergrund. Schokolade und Rosinen wissen zu gefallen.
Review by Motvind
Aroma of pear, vanilla, chocolate. Quite weak flavors, feels almost a little watered down. Caramel, pear, wood, and chocolate in the flavor. No alcohol strength at all, very nicely integrated and smooth.
Review by Philip M. 🇧🇪
08/03/2026: Brussels Rhum Festival @ Tour & Taxis. Similar than the Seleccion de Familia I tasted before this, it tasted way too sweet for my liking. Very thin, boring and no complexity. For this reason, I will give it a similar score than the Seleccion de Familia.

I truly dont know why the fucking retards are saying this is sweet or the other inaccurate descriptions. This is NOT sweet, it is noticeably dry and truly amazing and not a diabetic syrup like reserva is
