Diplomatico 1997

Deep flavors, 1997 edition is the best of all 3 Single Vintages. You can smell the sherry right away.

Time to open up my rare rum collection during the global lockdown. Diplomatico Single Vintage 1997 has a great brand recognition, very nice high end bottle design and a beautiful label. Dark mahogany color. Smooth Sherry to the nose and palate when neat sipped. Subliminal ending. Clearly the best one of the Single Vintages.

Simply Heaven, will start buying all I can find..
RumRatings should change the picture that does not go with Diplomatico SV 1997.

This is simply a very good glas of rum. Lovely sherry, caramel and vanilla notes. Granted not the easiest rum to get a hold of, but worth the effort.

Nose is soft and balanced. Aromas of caramel, vanilla and some sweet fruit maybe figs? Plus weak notes of sherry. Really inviting!
Taste is: soft as velvet, without being sweet. You can taste the figs, oak and weak sherry. The aftertaste is long and dry! So long!
Incredible balance!
I am a fan of the series in generel (especially S.V.2000), but this one is special. Its another level, in many ways it reminds me of one of my all time favourite rums. Ron Zacapa - Straight from the cask.
I can only say 10/10 - THANKS for this, pure harmony and balance.

This is the best of the best. You have here the bottle you need to have

Para mí gusto el mejor ron de diplomatico, su dulzor y complejidad realmente le dan categoría a este ron

I just don't have the courage to open another bottle of this gem. This vintage edition is awesome, super smooth, warm tale and on the sweet side, cherry is definitely there but that's the reason you can drink this with practically anyone even my grandma loved it. But thinking back, I could give my grandma something else :)))

BEST rum i ever drink. It started 2 years ago with SV2001 bottle. Then I bought few SV2000. Both beautiful. But 1997 is really the best of them. I bought 7 bottles in last year as an "investment". Wrong choice. 2 already sadly gone :-). With more to go….
But it’s definitely worth it.

Este es el mejor ron con diferencia de todos los valorados hasta el monento por muchos aficionados al ron venezolano, una joya unica que hace merecedor de un sitiobprivilegiado en cualquier colección mundial
