Diplomatico 2001 Single Vintage

Diplomatico single vintage rums are one of my all time favorites. I drank the 2000, 2001, and 2002 side by side, and I really struggled to tell them apart.

Has an amazing smell of rich butter toffee, caramel, and butterscotch, with a light sherry taste that isn't strong enough to detract from the rum. Taste is an amazing follow up to the nose. Strong at 43%abv, but so good the added strength is perfect. Another amazing rum from Diplomatico.

I like this one alot, great taste but it is abit expensive.

fruit, fruit, fruit :) smooth, sweet rum with touch of power = diplomatico

Diplomatico 2001 Single Vintage is an amazingly smooth rum, but the reality is that Reserva Exclusiva is less than half the price and offers you 98% the same experience. Both 2000 and 2001 Single Vintage bottles are very hard to find in the US, but taste exactly the same. If you find one, you have tasted both.

Great sipper, long aftertaste. În buna tradiție Diplomatico un rom minunat!

My first foray into the Diplomatico range and must say interesting but a very welcome to have a single vintage which I have never come across within my short rum journey.

Dark Amber/reddish in colour. Very nice aroma, complex am getting notes of burned sugar, some tobacco, maybe dried fruits.

This tastes silky smooth, mouth enveloping, sweet but balanced with the other flavours of spice. Long sweet, rich dry finish with a spicy tingling.

Perfect after dinner drink.

N- After the underwhelming 2002 and 2004, hopes are not high with this one, but it turn out that this particular vintage are well crafted and restore some respect on this special vintage release to commemorate the few excellent harvest years on sugar cane in Venezuela history. Rock sugar jar, white coffee and also dark cherries, thick and smoggy strength teases the nose well, landed quite full with distant rubbery scents and ashy roughness. Well layered for long nosing and this gives you something recognizable. (87/21)

P- Balanced of waxy dried fruits, oily, floral and roasted brown sugar. Sugar probably added, but at good measures. Oak came thru well with hearty feels. (85/19)

F- Medium long, lasting gingery coat. Waxy, hint of creamy bitter oak, unsalted peel nuts. (87/21)

B/B- 86/20

Weighted Rate - 81pt

This is almost a perfect rum. I call it the fear because I can easily down the bottle in a night. The 2004 is a but more dry. This rum is sweet chocolate coffee with a burn.

Schön kräftig und würzig. Abgang ist gut, könnte länger sein

Light at start but strong startling and woody go through with herb ending. Of course sense of alcohol is present.

Diplomatico special. Like improved Reserva. Excellent present, to cabinet, delicate but still sweet and very fruity taste.

Ein herrlicher Rhum. Gut in der Nase. Dunkle Schokolade, Banane, Melasse. Am Gaumen, fruchtig und langer Abgang.

I am into fruity or mostly molasses flavored rums. But this is a nice burn rum

Comparable to the Reserva Exclusiva but an even more tasteful and smoother nose, aroma and overall tast. Top-notch!

Väldigt hög smak av lång lagring på ekfat och inte så söt utan fatkaraktären är starkast i smakspectrat, men ändå god i mitt tycke. Men som sagt inte min favorit rom då jag gillar något sötare smak.

One of my personal favourites, took a few tastes to true ly appreciate it, but love the sweetness from the sherry casks!

Nice, good, easy drinkeble rum... i am sure you Can do better for apox. 700kr.

This is definitely a tasty rum, but unfortunately it's just a little too oaky for my taste.

Really delicious! Extremely good rum, not as good as the 2000, but hard to distinguish. You'd be hard put to find a better sipping rum!

wowowowowowowowowoowowowowowowowowowwowowowowowow!

it's a very good one ... sweet & harmonic taste ... wow.

I have got one bottle and might not buy another one near soon cause of the price but the taste is there !

One if the best rums, fantastic smell and taste. To be honest I cannot differentiate between 2001x 2000. The only price limits in regular sipping.

Diplomatico Single Vintage 2001 is a unique vintage rum developed from a single harvest, the best ever recorded in Venezuela.
