Diplomatico Distillery Collection: No2 Single Barbet 47%
Tasting Note
Molasses based, distilled on the French double column Barbet still
American oak
Tasted: Nov 2017
The nose is pretty full for a column still rum with plenty of rich, dark molasses. Hints of luscious tropical melon, mango and apricot follow, along with subtle wood spices and earth. Given time the aromas begin to lighten and show more column still dried fruit.
The palate is luscious and subtly sweet with banana, toasted oak, toffee and hints of apricot and melon. Again beautifully rich with a touch of column still spices nipping at the edges. Lovely intensity of the lighter dried fruit notes come through on the finish along with hints of violets and some drying tannins. Very impressive.
