Diplomatico 2005

I couldn’t find the 2000, but got this instead. A very enjoyable drink. Very smooth and rich, it warmed the cockles.

For me a wonderful rum, deep vivid color, pulling towards mahogany like. Taste wise I prefer this over the Ambassador, love the chocolate notes, and the non sweet wood, the dry fruits.

Wonderful looking bottle, very fine taste, well balanced

Same character as all single vintage from Diplomatico. Very good and balanced.

Very well balanced, sweeter, but not too much (like12y for example) complex body with molasses, wood, chocolate and fruits. Nice smooth and long aftertaste. Unfortunately I don't had 2004 for direct comparison :-( need to repeat it again one day :-)

Rum tasting in Skopje Macedonia continued with Diplomatico 2005 Single Vintage. Very nice high end bottle and label design. Mahogany color. So close to being an amazing Single Vintage Diplomatico, but there is an unaged alcohol burn at the end knocking it down to nine.
