Diplomatico Seleccion de Familia Rum (70cl, 43%)

A Venezuelan rum from Destilerías Unidas S.A., blended from selected rum reserves. It is aged in former Bourbon and Sherry casks and shows a deep warm amber colour. The nose brings sugar cane, honey and red fruit, with gentle spice and wood. The palate is smooth and balanced, with vanilla, toffee, caramel and subtle oak, plus fruity notes and a warm finish. It is less sweet than Reserva Exclusiva, but richer, more complex and spicier. Best enjoyed neat or on the rocks, or in cocktails such as a Rum Old Fashioned or Manhattan. In a 70cl bottle at 43% vol.
