Distilled from sugarcane and aged for up to twelve years, the history of Ron Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva can be traced back to the 19th century when Don Juancho Nieto Melendez, a legendary figure in the history of Venezuela, began distilling rum near Hacienda Botucal.
Inspired by the 18th-century distiller Don Juancho Nieto Meléndez — also known as El Ambassador— this luxurious Venezuelan rum is a distinctive blend of 12-year-old 100% pot-still rums. Unlike the standard expressions in the Diplomático stable, this premium rum is given an extra two years in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks, in addition to is rest in ex-bourbon barrels. Bottled at a slightly higher proof, this luxury rum is presented in an elegant wooden cask featuring an 18-carat gold closure.
