Our final encounter with Venezuela’s Ron Diplomatico Single Classic expression was its 2007 launch — although that launch hit the market solely a few years in the past. Now Diplomatico is again with a follow-up from 2013. As is frequent with its rum releases, it is a mix of three completely different distillates, drawn from column, pot, and and hybrid nonetheless manufacturing, all constructed from molasses and cane honey. Completely hailing from the 2013 manufacturing 12 months, these rums are blended earlier than barreling, then aged for 10 years earlier than bottling. 18,000 bottles produced.

Ron Diplomatico Single Classic 2013 Evaluation
Fairly on the nostril, that includes notes of honey, torched orange peel, and inexperienced banana earlier than extra conventional notes of vanilla and caramel take over. Spice notes ultimately dominate: cloves and cola, significantly.
On the palate, the rum is instantly a bit harder and rougher than the traditional and really candy Reserva Exclusiva, making me surprise how a lot much less sugar dosage is used right here. That’s a great factor, as a result of it permits extra taste to return by means of past brown sugar and vanilla. (I really like these flavors, in fact, however nice rum is much more than sweetness.)
Large notes of banana bread, Christmas cake, and darkish molasses all dominate, infused all through with these spice notes current on the nostril. Once more, cloves and cola are punchy, whereas ample, toasty oak notes perk up on the end. Some crimson fruit, espresso, and baked apple notes full a vacation vibe on the prolonged, warming end.
All instructed it’s a incredible little rum that deserves extra contemplation than you may count on.
