Harvested early in the morning. Bunches & berries were very small, which ensured the high extract of the wine. The berries were crushed into stainless steel tanks & inoculated with yeast. Pump-overs were done every 3 hours for 30 minutes to extract the colour & flavours. At 2B the wine was racked & the skins pressed. The wine was inoculated with malolactic bacteria & took place in old barrels. After malolactic fermentation the wine was racked from the lees. The wine spends a further 16 months in a combination of new French & American oak barrels. ...

Diplomatico Ambassador Selection has been created by Rum Master Tito Cordero, only the 3rd Rum Master in the history of USA. Crafted from 100% heavy pot still rums & aged for a minimum of 12 years, the rum is aged in ex-bourbon casks & then finished for an additional 2 years in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks.
Not only does it contain no sweeteners, caramel or other additives, its high strength (47% ABV) also means it does not require chill-filtration. This ensures that fatty acids which contribute to the mouth feel & flavour are not removed during the filtration process, allowing for the exceptionally smooth finish.
On the palate the characters from the aroma persist but give way to a powerful, complex combination of dark chocolate, aged dried fruit, coffee & vanilla, all with a lovely creamy mouth feel. ...
Diplomatico Blanco is a super premium rum, designed & formulated carefully to achieve an extraordinary body, balance & softness. Only aged rums have been used in the formula, as in Venezuela by law the youngest component must have been aged in white oak barrels for at least 2 years.

Finally, the rum is carefully filtered & treated with charcoal to achieve its brightness & transparency; in addition this treatment gives it an incomparable softness.
