Diplomatico Mantuano 70cl

Diplomático Mantuano Rum 70cl is a smooth, approachable, and highly regarded Venezuelan rum from the acclaimed Diplomático distillery, named in honour of the country’s historic “mantuanos” (aristocratic landowners). Crafted from a blend of pot still and column still rums aged up to 8 years in ex-bourbon barrels, this expression delivers classic Diplomático elegance and richness at an accessible price point. The nose bursts with vanilla pod, brown sugar, and syrup-soaked dried fruits, accompanied by hints of toffee and subtle oak. On the palate, these notes carry through with creamy vanilla, caramelised brown sugar, plump raisins and prunes, tropical fruit undertones, and a gentle touch of baking spice (cinnamon, nutmeg). The finish is smooth, warm, and lingering with soft spice and sweet oak. At 40% ABV, Mantuano is supremely versatile—ideal sipped neat, on the rocks, or in classic cocktails like Rum Old Fashioned, Daiquiri, or simple highballs. A perfect entry into premium aged rum and a consistent crowd-pleaser.
