Diplomatico Distillery Collection N°2 Barbet Rum

Product Highlights

Diplomático's Distillery Collection No. 2 is distilled on a rare French Barbet column still, prized for producing a lighter, more refined spirit than the brand's traditional pot stills. The nose reveals tropical fruit aromas balanced by toasted oak for a distinctive, inviting bouquet. The palate turns slightly dry, with delicate wood tannins and fresh citrus fruit flavors that combine for a pleasant, long-lasting finish. Sourced from Venezuela and aged four years in ex-bourbon and ex-whisky American white oak barrels, it's bottled at 47% ABV to retain the column still's clean, elegant character. This limited-release expression is best enjoyed neat, allowing its citrus and oak notes to fully unfold. A fascinating companion to the Batch Kettle No. 1 for anyone curious how still type shapes a rum's final character.
