Diplomático Selección de Familia Rum (75cl, 43%)

Diplomático Selección de Familia is a rum blended from distillate produced in three still types: pot still, Barbet column still and batch kettle. The final blend is 90% pot still, 5% Barbet column still and 5% batch kettle rum. Every component ages up to 12 years across American white oak, ex-bourbon barrels and sherry-seasoned casks, including Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso. Produced at a family-owned distillery in La Miel, Venezuela, with roots dating to 1959, it is clear, deep bronze amber with prunes, dates, figs, sultanas, vanilla, tobacco, blackened fruitcake, coconut macaroon and white pepper, developing into rich yet dry flavours with baked banana, dried fruit, chicory and Christmasy spice.
