Diplomàtico / Botucal Single Vintage 2002, a very rare reserve rum from Venezuela All distillates used are produced in very old copper pot stills, which give this single vintage its exceptional character. After maturing for up to 12 years in select bourbon and single malt casks, the distillates are finished for one year in Spanish Oloroso sherry casks for the perfect finish. Color: Golden amber. Aroma: Pleasant notes of vanilla and almonds. Taste: Rich, silky smooth, and incredibly intense, yet this rum is light and dry. Finish: Noticeable notes of caramel, vanilla, oak, and tobacco lead to a long, lingering finish. Bottle Nr. BC 197 The rums are distributed under the name Botucal by Destilerias Unidas in some countries, following the loss of a legal dispute in March 2012. The Aldi supermarket chain holds the trademark rights to the brandy "Diplomat" and fears confusion within its sales territory. Therefore, the rums may no longer be sold under the name Diplomatico in the relevant countries. The contents, however, remain unchanged.
