DIPLOMATICO NO.1 BATCH KETTLE (DISTILLERY COLLECTION) RUM

‘

Detailed Description
Launched as part of their “Distillery Collection”, the Diplomatico No.1 Batch Kettle Rum was developed to highlight one of the elements that go into crafting their signature rum which in the case of this bottling is their Batch Kettle Still which was brought in from Canada back in 1959. Each bottle of this rum starts its life as high-quality sugar cane honey which are distilled in the aforementioned still and left to mature in ex-bourbon American white oak barrels, slowly developing its flavors before finally being brought to proof and bottled.
Diplomatico No.1 Batch Kettle (Distillery Collection) Rum Tasting Notes
Nose: Dark gold in color, each sip of this rum greets you with a mouth-watering nose of caramelized banana, crème brulee, demerara sugar, roasted nuts, uncooked cookie dough, and hints of cedar.
Palate: This is then followed by a rich and medium-bodied palate of more bananas and caramel, toffee, peppers, sweet spices, cola, oak, smoke, and a touch of minerality.
Finish: A sweet and fading finish.
