Diplomatico No.2 Barbet Rum
The second Limited Edition from Diplomatico distillery is No. 2 Barbet rum which is a column distilled rum. This system consists of two columns: the Aldehyde Column, in which the undesired elements are separated from the rest of the liquid, and the Rectifying Column where only the desired elements are kept. This rectification system is not found in other traditional column systems. It is unique to this design and is what gives the characteristic fruity profile to the distillate obtained. The distillate is then aged in American white oak barrels to reach optimum maturity. It has mango and passionfruit aromas with notes of toffee and oak. Smooth and slightly dry on the palate.

Takamaka Limited Edition Napa Laz White Rum 50cl
Takamaka Le Clos Napa Laz is the distillery's first 100% Seychellois sugar cane white rum. The master distiller meticulously controlled the fermentation process and carefully selected the 'hearts' during distillation. The 'heads' and 'tails' were redistilled to extract additional flavour, and the final blend comprises 16.5% of the year's hearts and 83.5% of the redistilled blend. Bottled at 53.4% ABV, the rum presents fresh aromas that evolve into herbaceous notes, green pepper, citrus zest, and exotic fruit. The palate offers a lively minerality balanced by fruity roundness, leading to notes of sourdough bread and umami. The long, lingering finish showcases mineral and peppery notes, echoing the initial aromas.
