Rum Diplomatico Reserva 12YO 40% 0,7l

Produced at the foot of the Andes Mountains in Venezuela, Rum Diplomatico Reserva 12YO 40% 0,7l is a complex blend of copper pot still rums. The distillation process utilizes high-quality sugarcane molasses and sugarcane honey. Following distillation, the spirit matures for up to twelve years in small oak casks previously used for bourbon and malt whisky. This aging method imparts a distinct amber hue and a structured flavor profile. On the nose, it presents aromas of maple syrup, orange peel, and brown sugar. The palate reveals a rich texture with pronounced notes of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and subtle oak spices. A lingering, warming finish highlights hints of vanilla and dried fruits. The brand honors Don Juancho Nieto Melendez, a historical figure known for his extensive collection of Caribbean spirits, whose portrait appears on the label. This rum serves well neat or over a single large ice cube, allowing the intricate layers of its composition to unfold gradually.
