    How does this rum taste?

    The Diplomático / Botucal Single Vintage 2001 rum is a well-regarded Venezuelan spirit from Destilerías Unidas. Distilled from molasses using a pot still and aged for 13 years, it offers prominent notes of caramel, sweet fruitcake, figs, and dried fruit in its aroma. On the palate, users note its sweet and caramelized flavor, enhanced by banana, dates, and butterscotch undertones. While some appreciate its depth and sweetness, others find it overly sweet, lacking complexity. Reflecting a mix of sentiments, users compare its quality to other premium offerings, with some suggesting it's a good example of vintage rum. Distinctive yet divisive, this rum suits those with a penchant for sweeter, well-balanced profiles.

    Merkliche Zuckernote, die über das Reinprodukt hinaus geht. Wer sich davon abgeholt fühlt, findet hier definitiv einen der besseren Vertreter dieser Gattung. Mich stört die Fominanz der Süsse, da sie leider den Rest des Destillats deutlich überlagert. Insgesamt fehlt es an Komplexität, das Spektrum bleibt zu bewusst gefällig.

    Very close to the 2000 version, which I like a lot.

    Taaaak sladké. Na nose je velmi výrazné sherry dozrávání, sušené ovoce a karamel. V chuti je to hodně sladké, s výraznou stoupou sherry a datlí. Celé je to zbytečně řídké. Poměr cena/výkon je nesmysl, prostě další SV plnění.

    Too sweet for me nowadays.
