About Diplomatico

A fabulous Venezuelan dark golden rum, distilled from molasses in a copper potstill before 12 years of ageing. Rich, sweet and fruity, just the way we like it. Nutty and spicy, the aftertaste is long but subtle. Slightly dry nutty finish with good sweetness. Great value for money.

Diplomatico has won over 54 medals at international competitions such as SIP Awards, San Francisco World Spirits, Miami Rum XP, Monde Selection etc.

In 2011, Master Blender Mr. Tito Cordero received great recognition when he was named the world's best master blender, the first Venezuelan ever.
