Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
Bottled at 10 years old from the 2013 vintage, this is a rum Diplomático makes only in years it considers exceptional, blended from special reserves selected by its Maestro Ronero. It matured primarily in ex-bourbon casks before a sherry cask finish, and the layers show it. The nose opens with smoked wood, freshly brewed coffee and dark chocolate over vanilla and toasted almond. The palate is velvety and full-bodied, with caramelized banana, molasses and plum, baking spice, vanilla cream and a whisper of sherry-soaked oak. The finish is long and mellow, trailing dried fruit, red berries and a soft, warming spice. At 43% ABV it has real presence while staying easy to linger over. It suits the rum drinker ready to step up to a serious sipper, and the collector who likes a dated vintage on the shelf. We carry it because it shows just how much depth and polish a sugarcane spirit from a family-owned distillery at the foot of the Andes can deliver.
Pairs well with
- Dark chocolate truffles — The rum's dark chocolate and fresh coffee aromas mirror the cocoa while its vanilla cream softens any bitterness.
- Aged Gouda or Manchego — The caramelized banana and molasses on the palate play beautifully against the nutty, salty depth of firm aged cheese.
- Evening with a medium-bodied cigar — Smoked wood and toasted oak in the rum match a cigar with nutty or woody notes, and the long, warming finish keeps pace through a slow smoke.
