Description Rum Diplomatico n.3 Pot Still
The third and final expression of the Distillery Collection Series, launched in 2017 to highlight Diplomatico's distillation systems.
This rum was distilled in a Copper Pot Still which was brought to Diplomatico's La Miel distillery in 1959 from Scotland.
Aided by the use of sugar cane honeys and a prolonged fermentation process, this vessel still produces a very complex spirit. Aging takes place in small American white oak barrels where the rum develops additional aromas of cocoa and caramel.
This rum is the heart of Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva's unique flavor profile. The perfect gift for rum enthusiasts to be enjoyed slowly together with a good dark chocolate.
On the nose it is rich, dark caramel with lighter notes of banana and cloves. Toffees develop
with marked edges that balance the rich and sweet medium palate. The candied lemon peel develops in the glass over time.
On the palate notes of juicy blackcurrant with a touch of menthol. Nose burnt caramel creeps around the edges with spices like cloves and toasted banana in the center. Twigs and green leaves linger in the back.
Very persistent finish played on herbaceous tones which slowly give way to sweet spicy notes.
