Diplomático Planas Rum

About Diplomático Planas Rum

Diplomático Planas takes its name from the Planas region, which spreads out around the distillery. Situated at the foot of the Andes, the land is encircled by sugar processing plants and the picturesque Terepaima National Park, supplying the local producers with brisk natural water. The area’s micro-climate works in favor of the complex, tropically inclined profile of the rum, importantly affecting the quality of its smoothness as well. By combining modern and traditional distillation methods, this white rum is produced out of fermented, top-grade sugar cane molasses and sugar cane honey and subsequently distilled in a combination of column, pot, and batch kettle stills.

Some people say that rum has no laws, but that is far from the truth. Venezuelans have strict regulations prohibiting the producers from bottling their rum if it hasn’t aged for at least two years. Diplomático takes this commandment seriously, aging the distillate for six years in ex-bourbon casks – not exactly a common practice when it comes to white rums. The blend is then charcoal-filtered up to six times to ensure the necessary color and richness of texture. Bottled at 47% ABV, the fruity and creamy flavors of Planas Rum can be enjoyed neat or as the star ingredient in classic white rum cocktails like Daiquiris, Mojitos, and Piña Coladas.
