Diplomatico Ambassador Selection Cask Strength Rum 700mL

Diplomático Ambassador Selection Rum

Venezuelan Aged Rum | Finished in Pedro Ximénez Sherry Casks | 47% ABV (94 Proof) | 750mL

Process & Profile

Diplomático Ambassador Selection Rum is a premium Venezuelan rum produced using sugarcane honey rather than molasses, a defining element of the Diplomático house style. Distillation takes place in traditional copper pot stills, contributing weight, richness, and depth to the final spirit.

The rum is aged for a minimum of 12 years in ex-bourbon barrels, allowing it to develop structure, oak influence, and natural sweetness. After primary maturation, it undergoes a secondary aging period in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, adding layered complexity and rounded sweetness. The rum is bottled at 47% ABV, higher than standard rum releases, to preserve intensity and mouthfeel.
