Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva

Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva is the signature rum of Venezuela's renowned rum house Diplomático, blended at 40% ABV from special reserve rums. The brand describes it as one of the world's most-loved super-premium sipping rums, and it has won awards at many international competitions since 2010. Diplomático is today part of the Brown-Forman group.

What does Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva taste like?

According to the producer's tasting profile, orange peel, toffee and liquorice stand out on the nose. On the palate, a soft, balanced structure with a pronounced sweetness and a full body is felt. Its dessert-like sweet character makes it especially suited to sipping neat after a meal.

How is it served?

It's recommended neat, at room temperature or with a single ice cube. The brand also suggests using it in place of whisky in classic cocktails such as the Old Fashioned and Manhattan; bitters and orange peel balance the rum's sweetness.

Which foods does it pair with?

Its toffee and orange notes pair very well with dark chocolate desserts, orange-chocolate combinations or caramel desserts. Roasted hazelnuts and almonds, along with mature hard cheeses, are also a good accompaniment.
