Description

Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva Rum (70cl / 40%) exemplifies Venezuelan rum craftsmanship from Diplomático, blending tradition with excellence. Produced from premium molasses fermented for up to five days, it undergoes distillation in bespoke copper pot and column stills, capturing nuanced flavours. Aged meticulously for 12 years in ex-bourbon and Spanish sherry oak casks in the humid climes of the Venezuelan Andes, it develops profound complexity. This amber elixir greets the senses with an opulent bouquet of orange zest, ripe bananas, toffee apples, vanilla pods, liquorice root, dark chocolate, and subtle nutmeg spice. On the palate, it caresses with velvety richness: butterscotch caramel, creamy vanilla custard, roasted coffee beans, cinnamon-dusted dried fruits, toasted almonds, and a whisper of cocoa. The finish lingers seductively, warm and harmonious, with lingering honeyed sweetness, mild oak tannins, and faint smoky embers. Ideal for sipping neat, over ice, or in refined cocktails, it embodies luxury for discerning palates seeking smoothness and depth. Double gold medal winner at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
