Diplomatico Mantuano Rum

Diplomatico rum starts with Venezuelan sugar cane, specifically a mixture of molasses and sugar cane honey. Once distilled, the rum is placed into a combination of oak casks including previously used American bourbon barrels and Scottish malt whisky barrels. The rum matures in those barrels for an undisclosed period of time (reportedly up to 8 years for this version) before being removed, blended, and bottled for sale. This is, without a doubt, a fantastic rum for cocktails. Whether you’re making a Dark & Stormy or a more tropical cocktail, the fruity notes and the richness of the maturation flavors provide an excellent foundation for the mixers and other components to do their magic.
