Diplomático Distillery Collection N°1

With this Distillery Collection, Diplomático draws attention to their unique stills used for the blends of their well-known varieties. Each version puts one of these stills in the spotlight.
N°1 is a 100% copper batch kettle Rum. The still was brought to the Diplomático distillery in 1959. The still was previously used in Canada for the production of Whiskey. Batch kettle stills combine the functionality of a pot still with a 'rectifier' such as can be found on a column still. Using a batch kettle requires a high level of knowledge of the 'Maestros Roneros' to make cuts in the right places. This gives this Rum a very unique taste. After distillation, this Rum is matured in American and French oak that has previously been used for the maturation of Bourbon and Whiskey. The combination of light and heavy toast gives it a nice complexity.
Nose: Sweet and fruity, floral and vanilla.
Taste: Wood, roasted caramel and ripe fruit.
