Diplomatico Seleccion de Familia is a luxurious Venezuelan rum, aged for up to 12 years in a combination of American white oak, ex-bourbon, and ex-sherry casks. Crafted by dedicated Maestros Roneros at the DUSA distillery in Venezuela, this special blend is primarily made from sugarcane honey, with 90% of the rum distilled from sugarcane honey and the remaining 10% from molasses. The result is a full-bodied rum with a complex aroma and flavor profile, featuring notes of dark fruit, toffee, wood, plum, caramel, vanilla, oak, red fruits, honey, sugarcane, and spices.
The nose is well-balanced with aromas of sugarcane, honey, and red fruits, followed by hints of vanilla and oak. On the palate, you’ll experience notes of wood and plum combined with toffee, leading to a well-rounded, long-lasting finish. This rum is dark amber in color and has an elegant and smooth conclusion.
