The batch kettle still — operated since 1959 — produces a heavier, more complex distillate than column stills, with more congeners and aromatic compounds carried through. Six years in American white oak previously used for bourbon and whisky adds the caramel, wood tannin, and dried fruit character that elevates the base distillate into a rum of genuine aged complexity. A rare opportunity to taste one component of Diplomatico's blend in its pure, unblended form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fruity and sweet with wild flowers and vanilla — the batch kettle's aromatic character at full expression\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Delicate wood tannins balanced with toasted caramel and ripe red fruit — silky texture from the kettle distillation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth and lingering with caramel and fruit persisting\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diplomatico, La Miel Distillery, Venezuela\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Still Type Aged Rum — Batch Kettle Still\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStill:\u003c\/strong\u003e Batch kettle still (introduced to the distillery from Canada, 1959)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sugar cane honey\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 years in American white oak ex-bourbon and ex-whisky barrels\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diplomatico Collector Series No. 1\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rum\"\u003erum at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the Diplomatico Collection Series?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"A series that isolates and showcases each individual still type at the La Miel Distillery — showing what each contributes to the final blended Reserva Exclusiva.
