Diplomático / Botucal Ambassador Selection 14yr 47%
The Diplomático Botucal Ambassador Selection is a Venezuelan rum known for its refined character and robust complexity. Production at Destilerías Unidas S.A. involves distillation from molasses and a meticulous 14-year aging process in oak casks. Recognizable aromas include vanilla, dried fruit, caramel, honey, and raisin, leading to a taste profile dominated by vanilla, rich chocolate, sweetness, raisin, and coffee. While praised for its high-quality craftsmanship and complexity, the rum divides opinions due to its price and perceived added sweetness. Ideal for seasoned rum drinkers seeking sophistication, some critique it for not matching the natural sweetness of “true” rums at this price point.

“This is the best Diplomatico there is out there. The Single Vintages is also OK but can’t really compete, but I don’t think it’s really living up to the high price, but still a must have at my Spanish shelf. Picture: My Diplomatico shelf by moment.”

“Though this is a 94 proof it is really well balanced and you can hardly taste the alcohol. A better version of the Exclusiva with far more nuances and variety of spices.”

“A rum that has been made for the uninitiated premium market, and is packaged up to suit that market. Presented very well in a nice bottle a box with cork stopper and thick glass base. On the palate is it quite one dimensional with an over arching manufactured sweetness. Chocolate, caramel, vanilla, fruits and some wood maybe? Isn't overly bad but can't be compared to a tropically aged jamaican for example. I guess it has its place in the market.”
