LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

The defining entry into luxury rum. While some purists may find it too sweet, its extraordinary texture and 'Christmas-cake' flavor profile make it the most loved sipping rum for those transitioning from high-end dessert wines or cognacs.

The Library Note

Crafted at the foot of the Andes Mountains, Diplomático is inspired by 'Don Juancho,' a local nobleman who traveled the world in search of the finest spirits. The Reserva Exclusiva is a blend of 80% heavy pot still rums and 20% light/intermediate column rums, creating a spirit that is widely considered the most accessible super-premium rum in the world.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

A holiday in a glass. Aromas of orange peel, toffee, and licorice, with a sophisticated scent of gingerbread and chocolate.

THE PALATE

Luxurious and velvety. Intense flavors of caramel, vanilla, and tropical fruit are balanced by a soft oakiness and a hint of spice.

THE FINISH

Long, mild, and sweet with a persistent glow of creamy coffee and demerara sugar.
