Premium Aged Dark Rum, 40% ABV, Venezuela
Diplomatico Mantuano is a dark golden Venezuelan rum aged for up to eight years in white oak casks previously used for bourbon and malt whiskies. It is a versatile blend designed to replace the original "Reserva" rum, offering a rich profile that works well both in cocktails and served neat. It is crafted from a blend of column, batch kettle, and pot still distillates. This combination of 40% "heavy" and 60% "light" rums creates a balanced spirit.

Finish: Harmonious and slightly dry, featuring lingering herbal hints and spicy oak.
