Diplomatico 2002

Very smooth, very pleasant. Initially very sweet with strong notes of vanilla and cinnamon. No heat or burn. This was my 5th experience just enjoying sipping rum and second diplomatico and was the better of the two!

Surprisingly it has significantly less sweetness compared to the Reserva Exclusiva. The taste is definitely more demanding.

I recommend you give this one some time in the glass. When I first took a sip I tasted a harsh alcoholic note. After some minutes I took another sip and was almost completely satisfied with it: Great range of different tastes yet still a bit of spice.

Caramel, fruity, sweet taste. Aftertaste is quite subtle, but elegant. Maybe a bit too sweet and a bit too delicate. For that price I expected more flavour.

I experienced it not as rich in flavour as the 2001 version.
Would like to try them both in comparisson at the same time as memories fails me somewhat.

En god oplevelse, skarp, ikke så lang smags holdbarhed, men fylder godt

Smell is quite week, but taste was good, hinting at caramel and tobacco.

Une valeur sur chez Diplomatico mais le flacon est malheureusement plus jolie que je m’attendais à découvrir le liquide aussi bon que beau...

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.

Nice but quite complex. It's a lot happening all at once. Very good but worth the money?

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!
