Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva Rum

Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva is one of the best-selling premium rums on earth — and one of the most argued about. Destilerías Unidas makes it at the foot of the Andes in La Miel, Venezuela, where the distillery has run since 1959: a blend of 80% copper-pot-still rum and 20% column rum, fermented from sugarcane honey and molasses, aged up to twelve years in ex-bourbon oak, and bottled at 40% ABV under the postage-stamp label of Don Juancho Nieto Meléndez, a well-traveled local rum collector famous for the dinner parties where he poured his finds. Difford's found sandalwood, new leather, and chocolate espresso on the nose, then rich coffee, milk chocolate, licorice, orange peel, brown sugar, and maple, with a curry-spice note in the finish. Spirits Review: caramelized molasses, dates and figs, allspice, cinnamon, ripe fruit and nuts — a rum you want to drink and wear. Honest note, and it's a real one: master blender Tito Cordero has confirmed the blend includes a touch of cane sugar, and Diplomático is the reference example of a sweetened rum — Rum Ratings' enthusiasts range from calling it the smoothest, tastiest rum they'd ever had to accusing it of mistaking sweetness for age. Both camps are describing the same bottle. For a dessert-rich neat pour, a Diplomático Old Fashioned, a Manhattan riff, or the smoothest rum and Coke of your life, it's the rum that converts whiskey drinkers and cognac drinkers alike. Venezuela's calling card.
