Venezuelan
rum brand Diplomático has completed its Distillery Collection with the third
and final release in the series – No. 3 Pot Still Rum. The Diplomático Distillery Collection aims to
showcase the different distillation methods used to create the brand’s range of
rums.
First launched
in 2017, the collection comprises No.
1 Batch Kettle Rum and No. 2 Barbet Rum. The latest release, No. 3 Pot Still Rum, is
created in the copper pot still that was first used at Diplomático’s La Miel
distillery in 1959. The pot still uses
sugarcane honeys and a prolonged fermentation process. The spirit is then
filled into small American white oak barrels to age.
This is the third of the three numbered series rums from Diplomatico, it is described as having aromas of red and
tropical fruits with toffee and vanilla. On the palate, the flavors develop
into wood combined with coffee and dark chocolate.
Jon
Lister, UK brand ambassador, Diplomático, said: “The rum is essentially a look
behind the curtain to show the flavor profile behind the traditional range. “It’s not to replace anything in our
portfolio, it’s to support and showcase the traditional range.” Diplomático Distillery Collection No. 3 Pot
Still Rum will be available from select retailers at an RRP of $78.00.
