The Diplomatico 2002 SV Sherry Cask Finish is a distinguished rum with an alcohol content of 43% and a volume of 700ml. This exquisite rum is the result of a careful and meticulous production process that begins with the separate distillation of various rums in ancient copper stills at the DUSA distillery in Venezuela. After distillation, the rums are aged for 12 years in bourbon and single malt Scotch whiskey barrels. At the conclusion of this period, the master blender assembles the different rums, and the blend is further aged for an additional year in sherry casks, imparting a unique character to the final product.
The resulting rum boasts a rich and complex aroma, where the initial note of orange is the most prominent. This is followed by captivating notes of caramel and vanilla, which are complemented by hints of banana and a subtle background of red fruits, possibly cherries. The finish is of medium length, marked by a sweet impression and notes of caramel. Light tannins and a hint of cocoa also make an appearance, providing an exquisite balance.
This special edition of Diplomatico Single Vintage 2002 is produced from a selection of rums from the exceptional 2002 harvest. It stands as a testament to Diplomatico's commitment to quality and craftsmanship, making it a true treat for the senses.
The main aromas include vanilla, caramel, dried fruit, and woody notes, with hints of coffee and mild spices in the background.
On the palate, it offers a harmonious blend of vanilla, roasted coffee, caramel, oak, and raisin flavors, with an underlying sweetness and a smooth, woody finish.
This rum is best enjoyed neat or on the rocks, preferably in a relaxed setting, such as by a fireplace with friends, to fully appreciate its complex flavors.
This rum has garnered excellent reviews from connoisseurs. It is often described as suave, airy, and well-balanced. The aromas of vanilla and coffee are prominent, with a well-integrated woody character that adds depth. The finish is moderately long, leaving an impression of coffee and hints of cocoa. Reviewers recommend this rum for its sweet and complex profile, ideal for those who appreciate a good, sweet rum with coffee notes. It's a unique, full-bodied rum that has left a lasting impression on its consumers, who express high satisfaction and recommendation.
