Situated at the foot of the Andes Mountains in La Miel, Venezuela, Diplomático Distillery boasts a rich heritage dating back to 1959 when it was established. The distillery’s name, Diplomático, pays homage to Venezuela’s diplomatic heritage and the country’s historical connection to rum production. One of Diplomático’s most distinctive features is its diverse range of aging techniques and cask selections. The distillery employs a variety of aging methods, including the Solera System and traditional aging in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks. These techniques impart unique flavours and characteristics to each rum expression, ranging from rich caramel and vanilla notes to subtle hints of oak, spice, and tropical fruits. Diplomático rums have earned numerous awards and accolades from prestigious spirits competitions and industry experts, solidifying the distillery’s reputation as a world-class producer of premium rum. Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails, Diplomático rums offer a memorable and luxurious drinking experience that captures the essence of Venezuela’s rich rum-making tradition.

Diplomatico’s flagship rum was named ‘Exclusiva’ as a tribute to their 18th century founder Don Juancho Nieto Meléndez, who was always in search of exclusive flavours for his rums. This rum is a blend of  rums aged from 8 years to 12 years old which were distilled in a copper pot still,  from molasses and sugarcane honey, aged in ex-bourbon barrels.

Our Tasting Notes

Nose: Creamy, vanilla, freshly brewed coffee, fruity, butterscotch and citrus peel.

Palate: Liquorice and vanilla, plenty of dried fruits and hints of burnt citrus peel. Sweet and spicy. Perfectly balanced.

Finish: A very long finish, more vanilla and liquorice. Dark chocolate, sage and thyme. The perfect rum, not overly sweet and plenty of flavour.
