Diplomatico Mantuano 750ml
(Venezuela) [WE 91, Best Buy]

Notes from the Maker:
Mantuano is the replacement for Diplomatico's Reserva rum. 'Mantuano', meaning 'nobleman', reflects Don Juancho's status and his passion for travel and the discovery of new spirits, mainly rums. Don Juancho is present on each of Diplomatico's rums.

Aged for up to eight years, Mantuano is a blend of Column, Batch Kettle and Pot Still rums and made from molasses and sugar cane honeys. It is fantastic when mixed in cocktails, or sipped neat.

"Aged up to 8 years, this rum has a deep amber hue and aromas of allspice and sarsaparilla. The silky palate shows oak, toffee and vanilla, with a drying finish that teases hints of toasted coconut, cocoa and cinnamon."

"Aged up to eight years, it’s got some coffee, cinnamon, and cloves on the nose — along with some raisin notes. Quite savory on the tongue, the coffee notes filter down to dusky charcoal, barrel char, some raisin, and a bit of dark chocolate. Sugar is almost an afterthought here. If you like your rum chewy and filtered through the dank haze of wood, this is your jam." - Drinkhacker
