Diplomatico
1 Jan 2005
Regard: the 2005 vintage of Diplomático Venezuelan rum! Exceptionally rich and indulgent stuff, which has enjoyed a year finishing period in oloroso sherry casks. Very much an after-dinner dram, this stuff...
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Roasted orchard fruit, soft oak, strawberry and balsamic, espresso, cassia and star anise.
For drinking straight. Diplomatico is that smooth.
Complex, with sweet aromas of chocolate and tea, dried fig and caramelised banana, but still too much burn on the finish for me. Diluted with a little water, it's much better.
