Tasting Notes

Diplomático Mantuano is a versatile Venezuelan rum crafted from a blend of column still, batch kettle, and pot still rums aged up to 8 years. The nose opens with aromas of dried fruit, vanilla, and toffee layered with light oak and spice. On the palate, it is rich and balanced, offering flavors of caramel, honey, and dark fruit complemented by hints of nutmeg, clove, and molasses. The texture is smooth and rounded, leading into a medium-long finish with lingering sweetness, oak, and spice.

Food Pairings

As a starter, pair it with roasted almonds, spiced nuts, or charcuterie. For a main course, it complements barbecued pork ribs, jerk chicken, or braised short ribs. In the cheese course, aged gouda, manchego, or cheddar balance its rich sweetness. For dessert, it pairs beautifully with bread pudding, chocolate mousse, or caramel flan.
