Diplomatico Single Vintage 2002

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Aromas of vanilla and almond lead to well-balanced caramel and dark dried fruit. Additional notes include aromatic oak, cigar box, musk, and raisin.
• Palate: Initial flavors of caramel, vanilla, and oak are enhanced by complex dark fruit, spices, and hints of tobacco.
• Finish: The finish dries out with very long-lasting echoes of oak, raisin, and toffee.

Curiosity:

• Diplomatico 2002 Single Vintage is a limited edition aged rum from Venezuela.
• It underwent an initial aging process in oak for twelve years, followed by a second aging in Oloroso Spanish Sherry casks for another year to impart an enhanced finish.
• This rum was crafted from a selection of the most exceptional rum reserves in their vast complex of aging warehouses.

History:

From Destilerías Unidas in Venezuela, the Diplomatico brand revealed the 2002 Single Vintage as a new limited edition luxury rum expression. Distilled in vintage copper pot stills in 2002, the rum was aged in both bourbon and single malt whisky casks. The result is an artful and delicate balance of rare aged rums, created especially for the most serious rum enthusiasts.
