Created in 1959, this distillery from Venezuela produces « hybrid » rums between an Hispanic style and the British tradition. The respect of the climate, the environmental norms, the use of natural yeast are the criterias guiding the distillery through the production of its rums. Diplomatico is a Venezuelan rum produced by Venezuelan citizens within the respect of the designation of origin
The distillery has five different systems of distillation such as a Canadian batch kettle or a Irish copper still. This diversity gives Diplomatico rums a unique style between rich and semi-rich. Ageing in bourbon cask or in pedro ximenez cask enables the rum to reveal its true aromas and flavours. Once mature, it is blended to have more complex and well-balanced rums, which wouldn’t be possible with only one type of distillation.
As soon as you ask a traditional rum lover to think about a rum’s brand, you can bet that Diplomatico will be the first one to come to mind. For a few years now, the rum Diplomatico is the most-selled rum in the world. Ranked many times, it’s its golden medal in the contest Rum XP in 2013 that made it move up to another dimension.
