    The best of all the single vintages from Diplomatico. As an investment this one has gone up in price 10fold since release.

    Sweet aged diplo. Integrated alcohol, but common profile. Nothing more

    I remember a rum tasting with some rum friends, we tasted at least 3 bottles of Diplomático Vintage, starting with the 1997 vintage. For me it was honestly a disappointment, being such an acclaimed and sought after bottle, I imagined a very complex and exquisite rum, but it did not go beyond being a pleasant rum with a profile full of Pedro Ximénez wine. A very well known profile and not much to my liking.
