DIPLOMATICO - Single Vintage 2008 - 43%
Diplomático is a brand of aged rum from Venezuela , produced by Destilerías Unidas. The Diplomático distillery is located at the foot of the Andes, a privileged place for the production of rum; the region enjoys excellent conditions for the growth of the sugar cane and for the production of rum, with fertile land, abundant water and a tropical climate. The distillery, founded in 1959, is unique because it houses three different distillation processes that are combined to produce Diplomático rum. . The company has also been a pioneer in implementing sustainable practices throughout the rum-making process. From sugarcane, two products are obtained: sugarcane honey for complex rums , and molasses for light rums.
Single Vintage editions are only produced in exceptional vintages. The 2008 is aged for 12 years in Bourbon, Single Malt and new American oak casks, then finished for a further year in first-fill Oloroso Sherry casks. .
