Diplomatico Single Vintage is crafted from a selection of special rum reserves that evolved in an exceptional way, drawing the interest of the Maestros Roneros for their distinctive character. Distilled in vintage copper pot stills in the year indicated on the label, the rum is then aged in bourbon and single malt whisky casks for twelve years. After the aging process, the Maestros Roneros carefully blend the rum in order to obtain the structure, body, personality, flavors and aromas that they are looking for. Finally, the rum spends a year in Spanish sherry casks to provide the perfect finish. The Rum has a lovely golden amber appearance. After that it\'s a host of vanilla and almond notes, Caramel, vanilla, oak and tobacco with a dry and long finish. ### Product Description It is the face of Don Juancho Nieto Melendez that appears on the labels of Diplomatico\'s wonderful range of Rums and is the inspiration behind the distillery being set up in what is unarguably the stunning setting of the Planas Valley, sitting at the foot of the Andes. He is said to have travelled extensively and built up a collection of spirits referred to as the \'Ambasador\'s Reserves\'. Diplomatico rums tend to be a blend of sugar cane molasses and honeys. The molasses produce their lighter rums whilst the sugar cane honey will be used for the more complex styles. Tasting Notes Rich & silky. Delicious
