Dobrze ułożony rum w stylu hiszpańskim.
Review by Daniel
Unverkennbar Botucal, aber mit extra zituseinschlag und komplexer sowie weniger süß.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a very well balanced rum from the single vintage releases. I have almost all of these vintages and I like them a lot. Like the others, this one is lightly sweet, but not as sweet as the 2005 version. The nose is wonderful and the palate is well balanced between sweet and bitterness and spices.
Review by Stefan Persson
Have had this one for a while together with three other of the single vintages and this is the first one I open. I think it has a nuanced, complex and a elegant taste of almonds, nuts, chocolate, yellow fruits such as orange, arrack and with a hint of candied figs. The Sherry finish is also clearly recognizable. The finish is quite long. Unfortunately I think it’s a little too sweet even though the ABV of 43% balance the sweetness to a certain grade.
Review by Oliver
Pleasant Diplomatico without too dominant sweetness. Beautiful spice and roasted flavors. Fits the balance wonderfully to the cigar.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
exciting exception Venezuelan! strong, dark, spicy, barrel bitter and light herbal and dark chocolate notes! very good only it could be a little milder.
