Diplomatico Ambassador Selection Rum

Volume: 700ml          ABV: 47%          Age: No Age Statement          Country: Venezuela

Diplomatico Ambassador Selection has been created by Rum Master Tito Cordero, only the 3rd Rum Master in the history of DUSA. Crafted from 100% heavy pot still rums and aged for a minimum of 12 years, the rum is aged in ex-bourbon casks and then finished for an additional two years in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks. Not only does it contain no sweeteners, caramel or other additives, its high strength (47% ABV) also means it does not require chill-filtration. This ensures that fatty acids which contribute to the mouth feel and flavour are not removed during the filtration process, allowing for an exceptionally smooth finish.

Official Tasting Notes

Nose: Rich raisins, stewed apricots and soft brown sugar are balanced by drying woody tannins hinting at recently emptied cigar boxes.

Palate: Rich and sticky, with more raisins, cinnamon butter and caramelised bananas shot through with soft caramel, holding everything together.

Finish: Lingering hints of liquorice root and dark sugars sweetened up by light sugar syrup.
