Appearances can be deceptive: although Diplomatico Blanco Reserva is crystal clear thanks to charcoal filtration, it is actually a blend of rums aged between 2 & 6 years. Indeed Venezuelan law dictates that the youngest component must have been aged for at least two years. Launched in 2009, the rums used are a 50/50 combination of 2-year-old light column distilled rums & six-year-old heavy copper pot still rums.
