How can you make something great better? I mean. Reserva Exclusiva is amazing, then you have the Ambassador which is the grandfather of perfection in rums. I mean if Reserva Exclusiva is the son, and the ambassador is the grandfather than this would have to be the father of rums. I personally drink is on a hard days work. It's still has that sweet and smooth taste I like, but unlike the other two I mention it has a kick and crisp that you may need for a rough day with work or with life in general. My wife always knows when I pick up the silver top give me about 20min some peace and quite with my rum and jazz. I love the bottle and the price. Great rum for a gift retirement or a seasoned man's (or woman's) birthday.

A perfect blend of rums from the year 2000, aged in American white oak barrels and finished in sherry casks, resulting in a vintage rum presented in a limited edition at 43%. This rum has the perfect nose and a balanced rum flavour. It is the rum that all my good friends will be able to try. I am blessed to now have three bottles.

Krásne, luxusné balenie toho pravého prémiového rumu, žiadne lacné papierové kartóniky, toto je poriadny kus obalu. Hrubá kartónová krabica, ktorá sa dohora vyklápa a vo vnútri vystlaná modrým semišom. Fľaša váži kilo aj prázdna. Takto to vyzerá s top rumom kedy výrobca vie, že výnimočný produkt si zaslúži výnimočné balenie. Tento rum by mal chutiť hádam každému, kto ho skúšal, pretože nie je ani príliš taký, ani onaký. Je to jeden z najvyváženejších a najkomplexnejších rumov aké existujú. Ani moc sladký, ani moc suchý. Cítiť ovocné tóny ako hrozienka ďalej kakao, vanilku aj dubový súdok. Chuť dokonale kopíruje aromatické vnemy. Je trochu silnejší, čo cítiť aj poznať na jazyku. V žiadnom prípade mu to ale neškodí. Toto je ideálny sipper na výnimočné príležitosti. Dobre sa ku nemu hodí Cohiba Siglo VI...odskúšané=) Akurát je škoda, že za chvíľu sa už nebude dať nikde kúpiť.

This is an awesome, great sweet rum. The nose has butter, caramel, tropic fruits, and more! Fantastic deep flavors, great depth, balanced sweetness. It hits the spot. I even prefer this over the Diplomatico Ambassador.

One of the best rums I have ever tastes. Little bit sweet, a lot of flavours, no after burn. Very nice.

Das ist ganz klar die beste Vintage Abfüllung,ich habe ihn als Botucal und Diplomatico verglichen,absolut gleich.Mindestens so gut wie der Ambassador vielleicht sogar besser ,koste aber nur die Hälfte.Im Vergleich zum 2001er und 2002er deutlich besser,wobei der 2002er auch schon sehr hut und der 2001er nicht schlecht ist.Da es sich auch noch um eine sammelwürdige Millenium Abfüllung handelt sollte man sich bei den raren Beständen und niedrigen Preisen um 80 Euro unbedingt noch ein paar Flaschen beseite legen

Zeer speciale rum van Diplomatico in luxe kist ! Een exclsuieve selectie van zeer fijne rums tot 12 jaar oud recht uit het vat.
Geschiedenis Diplomatico
Eind de jaren 80’ was Don Juancho Nieto Melendez en zijn brandende passie voor het verkennen van de bronnen en processen zorgde eruit uiteindelijk voor zijn eigen verantwoordelijkheid voor de vele verleidelijke smaken van de traditionele dranken waaronder de rum.
Hij was vooral geïnteresseerd in ambachtelijke productiemethoden die ondanks relatief constant gehouden, waren kunnen opleveren uiteenlopende duidelijk verschillende resultaten .
Hij was gefascineerd door de subtiele complexiteit van de vele omgevingsfactoren die het rum -proces beïnvloeden , zoals het weer en de vochtigheid van de tropen. Een vakman in hart en nieren , Don Juancho was onvermoeibaar en zocht naar manieren om zijn eigen product te verfijnen door bemonstering van een uitputtende reeks van exotische likeuren en rum . In feite zijn zijn indrukwekkende verzameling drank heel beroemd geworden.
Don Juancho bestudeerde aandachtig de productie- methoden die in Jamaica , die op dat tijdstip de wereldstandaard was voor de vervaardiging en de waardering van rum.

This rum was a gift for my 40th birthday. One of the best rums I have ever tasted.
Sweet and somewhat complex, but not in my top range. I think it lacks some tasting notes, that I can't really define

When I came across a bottle of this rum several months ago there was no internal argument on whether or not I should purchase it. And it was the last bottle on the shelf.
Let's get to it, shall we?
Reading about the making of this rum is fascinating in of itself. Apparently the sugar cane crops in Venezuela that year were the best ever and made for some of the best even cane "honey" which they used in the distilling process. The rum was then aged in oak barrels for 12 years before finished in sherry casks.
The color is a nice rich mahogany. The aroma is outstanding. I seem to get hints of cinnamon in it. Swirling in the glass leaves a film of the rum that slowly...and I mean SLOWLY slides down the sides of the snifter.
The flavor is quite excellent. Admittedly this rum is sugared a bit the sweetness isn't overpowering. There seems to be a bit of butteriness to it with vanilla and butterscotch undertones. I also get a little flavor akin to raisins. There is a rather intense burn to it. It is listed at 43% ABV (86 proof) but that burn seems to be such experienced with higher proof rums. It's not rough at all, just a tad intense. When the burn slowly fades there is a nice drier finish highlighted by vanilla and cinnamon.
My opinions are based on drinking this straight and it is definitely an excellent sipping rum but I recommend using a single, small ice cube (emphasis on small) with the rum and allowing the cube to melt just a little bit. This will release even more flavors and mellows the burn a bit.
Albeit pricey at over $100 a bottle this is a rum that should be reserved for special occasions. And this is a bottle that gets high marks on the coolness factor. A thick-bottom heavy bottle with a natural cork and hefty metal topper. On the sad day your bottle of this rum becomes empty, save the bottle, take off the label and reuse it as a decanter.
Highly recommended!!!
