    If you like classic Diplomático but want something a bit drier, more complex and sherry-driven, this vintage release keeps the sweet comfort while adding nuance and better balance.

    Not really suitable for

    Anyone avoiding added sugar, looking for dry or funky high-ester rums, or preferring high-ABV, cask-strength power over polished sweetness.

    Dobrze ułożony rum w stylu hiszpańskim.

    Unverkennbar Botucal, aber mit extra zituseinschlag und komplexer sowie weniger süß.

    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.

    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.
