Diplomático Single Vintage 2004

A newcomer-friendly yet slightly more complex Venezuelan sipper. RumX members mention almonds, nuts, dark chocolate, citrus, candied figs and a clear sherry finish. Lightly sweet, balanced and elegant, ideal as a relaxed after-dinner pour or cigar partner. Backed by 55 community ratings around the high‑70s, it’s a well-liked, softer take on the Diplomatico style with extra spice and roasted notes compared to the core range.

  • Balanced sweetness
  • Nutty chocolate notes
  • Sherry influence

7.9/10

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.

7.8/10

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.

Pleasant Diplomatico without too dominant sweetness. Beautiful spice and roasted flavors. Fits the balance wonderfully to the cigar.
