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.

Transcontinental Rum Line Jamaica 2016 5 Year Old Rum
This first spends four years maturing under the Jamaican sun in American oak barrels, soaking up the island's unique character. Then, for a final year of refinement, it embarks on a trip to Europe. The aroma is a captivating blend of dried fruit, hinting at raisins and prunes, balanced with the warmth of black pepper, tobacco, and oak spice. A subtle smokiness adds intrigue, while notes of chocolate and cinnamon complete the inviting bouquet. The palate is a symphony of flavours, with vanilla sweetness intertwining with the grassy character of sugar cane. Zesty orange bursts through, followed by the rich comfort of caramel and cream. Hints of baking spices linger on the long finish, a testament to the rum's unique journey.
