Rum 'Single Vintage' Diplomatico 2007

The “Single Vintage” is the most elegant Rum in the Diplomatico range, made only in the best years and in limited edition, resulting from a careful selection of special reserves. It is a vintage Rum that originates from a long and complex maturation, where the choice of wood plays a fundamental role. Initially, the distillate rests in barrels that contained Bourbon or Whisky, and finally, for the last year, it ages in wood that previously held Sherry. A double aging process, therefore, that brings with it different and layered aromas, a true pleasure for the "noses" of enthusiasts, who will enjoy uncovering, moment by moment, every single ethereal olfactory trace, just by swirling the glass. An label with which Diplomatico confirms itself as one of the leading names in the global Rum production landscape.

The “Single Vintage” Rum is born from the distillation of molasses from three different types of sugar cane, Venezuelan, Central Romana, and Canal Point. The processing process uses pot stills that operate with the discontinuous system, closely monitored by the Diplomatico team. At the end of the distillation, the obtained Rum undergoes a long aging period, which takes place in two phases: first, the Rum is allowed to rest for 12 years in American white oak barrels that contained Bourbon or Single Malt Whisky, and then, for the last year of maturation, the distillate is transferred to barrels that contained Sherry, a Spanish fortified wine.

The “Single Vintage” is a Rum that, in the glass, develops an intense amber hue. The combination of aromas that outline the olfactory profile of this bottle tells of enveloping spicy notes, from which chocolate and coffee, tobacco, oak, caramel, raisins, and dried fruit emerge. On the palate, it has excellent structure, silky and full, round and full-bodied, with a sip characterized by an extremely long finish. An iconic product, on whose label still today stands a portrait of Don Juancho, an adventurous man passionate about Rum, who decided, during his life, to become a producer, thus beginning the myth of Diplomatico.
