Diplomatico 2002

Medium Sweet & long aftertaste. Also well balance with a little burn in the end, it is a touch dry-bitter & was aged in bourbon & cherry barells (nice combination). This is very good!! In mouth you can feel nice mild cherry, little bourbon oak & little sweetness.

It was really fantastic meet. What can I say? This vintage 2002 is very smooth, with very long aftertaste. Yes, this one is better than reserva exsclusiva. It’s true about that you need to give a time for it, let him breath.
Add good cigar with this Rum! And enjoy moment.
I give 9 - 9.3

Very balanced aroma, body and tail. Full body with decent alcoholic touch.

Initially I was surprised by a bit stronger alcoholic smell. Initial burn is followed by intense cocoa taste which persist through the entire experience. There is a bit plainer point and thats why I rate it only 9.

I am a fan of the entire Diplomatico line. I believe the 2002 Single VTG could be a 8-9 Rating if priced at $75.00, but at the purchased price of +$120.00 USD, I can’t give more than a 7.

Tasting a slight burn across the palate on the front end. On the backend, rich molasses & caramel.

One of the most popular rums in the world is the Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva, which to me is way to sweet, so I was hesitant to try this Single Vintage Diplomatico. My scepticism was put to shame.

Nose: Toasted oak, dried fruit and vanilla
Taste: Oak, dark chocolate and vanilla. A long finish which gives a great hint of sherry
Overall: This is a wonderful rum, which brings a lot of flavours to the table and a strong and pleasant aftertaste, which almost lasts for days. It can be recommendede for everyone, who feels like treating themselves.

No bite, so smooth. Caramel and dulce de leche notes.

Bought as a sample from www.masterofmalt.com for £8 usually retails at around £90. Have tried other premium diplomatico rums and have been looking forward to sampling this one for some time.

A nice Amber hued liquid, with a sweet and complex nose, hints of oak and sweet sherry from the finish, a It's smooth in the mouth but I feel it's lack of complexity doesnt justify it's £90 price tag, it's nice but it's not that nicer and I've had better for less. I personally believe it needed further finishing in well aged sherry casks either that or not at all. 1 year isn't long enough!

I'm rather thankful of these samples as they let you try before you buy is sometimes essential!

Tragically this is a 3 cl sample of a 24 rum sample kit given me as a present, I would vastly prefer a full case.

The color is a beautiful light mahogany. The nose is rich, slightly sweet and spicy. No alcohol in it at all. I could smell this alone for hours.

This is a perfectly blended rum. It's all flavor, spice, sweetness and alcohol wrapped up in one sip. THe finish is all of the above, and lingers.

This is the best rum I've ever tasted, and although I'm still a relative novice, I've been tasting wines for 45 years....this is the real deal folks.

Lovely expression, can’t say enough good things: if you’re drinking this you’re doing something right.
