Rum Diplomático are considered a benchmark for rums from all over the world. Produced from cane sugar of the highest quality and pure water, with different distillation methods and supported by the solid experience of influential Maestro Roneros of the caliber of Tito Cordero, who dedicate themselves to the realization of these distillates with commitment and passion, Diplomático rums they are characterized by a unique style, a sophisticated combination of complexity and refinement.The history of Diplomatic Rum dates back to the late nineteenth century. Don Juancho Nieto Mendelez, the man who inspired the creation of these rums, remembered by the Venezuelan people as a great lover and collector of rum, traveled all over the world, without stopping, to go in search of the most prestigious rums and the most bewitching flavors, which they would later become his special collection “Ambassador's Reserves”. Thus was born the Diplomatic Rum. The headquarters of the distillery is located on the slopes of the Andes, in an area where excellent sugar cane of fine varieties is produced, a fundamental raw material for making great Rums. The Lara region is, in fact, famous as the main producer of sugar cane in Venezuela, thanks to a humid and rainy, typically tropical climate. From the processing of sugar cane it is possible to obtain both pure cane juice to produce Rum in the Agricole style, and molasses to make traditional Rums.

These are high quality raw materials, which are then sent to the fermentation process: slower and longer for the cane juice, shorter for the molasses. At the end of the fermentation phase we proceed to the actual distillation, the heart of the whole process of creating the Rum. Inside the premises of the Distilerias Unidas, there are various types of stills: from the traditional Pot Still, to the Batch Kettle, up to the column stills, which are used according to the type of Rum to be obtained. The cane juice, the basis of the Rum Agricole, passes first in a column still and then in the traditional Pot Still. The fermented molasses base, on the other hand, is generally distilled in classic column stills. All distillation operations are conducted under the watchful eye of the Master Distiller. The great attention paid to all stages of production, from the sugar cane harvest onwards, allows to obtain a Rum that still retains an artisanal face and a very high level of quality, despite the fact that production has now reached industrial volumes. The careful choice of woods and the long aging periods give Diplomatic Rum the harmony, softness and complexity that have made it famous among enthusiasts and connoisseurs from all over the world. It is a rum of great elegance, which conquers for the aromatic richness of the aromas and the persuasive softness of the sip. Excellent to be tasted straight, it can be paired with dark chocolate with high percentages of cocoa.
