Rum "Distillery Collection No. 2 Barbet" - Diplomático [gift box]

Diplomático is Venezuela's best-known premium rum house. Its Distillery Collection showcases the different stills of its La Miel distillery, and No. 2 Barbet comes from the column still brought to La Miel in 1959, a continuous-distillation system originally used in France.

Distilled from high-quality sugar-cane molasses, it is aged four years in American white oak casks that previously held bourbon, and bottled at 47%, here in a gift box.

Tropical fruit on the nose – mango and fruit purée – with caramel and toasted oak. Light and fairly dry on the palate, with delicate wood and fresh citrus, and a long, pleasant finish.
