Diplomatico - No 1 Batch Kettle 70cl Bottle

Product Description

The Batch Kettle Still was brought to Diplomaticos La Miel distillery in 1959. This semi-artisanal distillation system is originally from Canada, where it was employed for the production of American whisky. Using the best sugar cane honeys, this unique distillate is aged for 6 years in American white oak barrels, that previously served to age bourbon & scotch, resulting in a delicious medium-body & complex rum. This system produces a complex distillate. After aging, the rum brings a very elegant & rich nose, combining aromas of vanilla with sweet & fruity notes of cherry & strawberry with a touch of banana. Well balanced on the palate with a sweet entry, followed by hints of ripe tropical fruits. Ends with a soft, sweet & slightly cool pronounced aftertaste. Toffee & roasted bananas, with milk chocolate, sweet cream & cinnamon toast. The toffee notes build, dominating with creamy sweetness without become too sticky. Rich & sweet, with the banana of the nose right up front. Soft char bitterness & hints of burnt toast hide at the back, with layers of caramel sauce, stewed orchard fruit & spicy nutmeg in between. Chocolate bananas fade to woody spice.
