Diplomatico Distillery Collection No2 Barbet

More complex, sweeter and smoother than number 2. Agree that it could’ve been aged longer, but still a very good rum

A mix between No1 and No3, between bitterness and sourness, this is probably the best balanced of the bunch. Otherwise tropical fruit nose and flavor.

Lagom sötma fruktig o mjuk och len i smaken. Vacker färg

nicely warming with fruit, raisin, vanilla and coconut tones
sweeter and smoother and more complex than No.1
7.5 points

Medium dark, smooth, slightly fruity, slightly burnt

Tasted nos. 1 and 2 side by side--this one was better. It still isn't a great rum, however.

N- Now with Barbet Still patent from France. Grilled honeydew melon, charred brown sugar and chocolate overlay with orange peels, also the raisin, banana and white fruits. Well lifted with zestier nuance, nice resin oak develop overtimes, cedar, tobacco and finely sweet. (87/21)

P- Ya, this works, waxy white fruits with polished oak phenol, balanced with full mouthfeel that comes with subtle tropical fruits underlay. Adore the drifting spiciness in this one. (89/22)

F- Medium long, dry and clean with delicate wood lasted the distances. (88/22)

B/B- 89/22.

Nice tasting rum. It was nice to try both batch 1 and 2 side by side. Considering it was the exact same batch of rum only difference was the way it was distilled. My personal opinion was this version was much more refined and had the best of the two finishes, however my son felt the exact opposite about the 1 over the 2 batch. Good mans rum, no additives or back sweetening. Good rum and unique.

Nice vanilla sweet nose. Abvish sharp smokey vanilla oaky body. Lng snooth vanilla snokey sweetish loooong end. Less sweet the Diplomatico Reserva and more taste of alcohol...

I am still in the sweet rum range, and this one took some getting uden to, but i find some very interesting taste notes in this rum.
