Diplomático Single Vintage 2008
Sweet-tooth sippers who like a soft, chocolatey Venezuelan style will feel at home here. This 2008 vintage leans caramel, milk chocolate and tropical fruit, with a whisper of leather and a spicier finish than you'd expect. One taster called it "beautiful at start, keeps giving then finish smoothly." A couple wished for a bit more punch at 43%, but it stays gentle and easy.

Review by Jakub Hrubý
Pleasant scent, surprisingly delicate. Drier finish, but again not too much.
Review by Timo Groeger
Wow, a really good rum, you can't say otherwise. Leather meets tropical fruit, that is all I have to say. Treat yourself to this rum if you have the chance :-) You can't go wrong with it.
