Diplomatico 2001

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.

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

feels sophisticated . First few bottles of rum that I started collecting.

Nice smoked cocoa, hard chocolata and caramel aroma. Full body with tropic fruit scent and cocoa. Very pleasant tail.

I've tasted multiple series. The 2007, 2005, 2002 and the 2000. But the 2001 is in my opinion the best I've tasted.

More refined taste than normal Diplomatico. Lovely taste
