To me, it’s like apple pie, which I like… What has been explained so far answers us where the complexity of Diplomático comes from and what makes it unique. Considering the five distillation systems, different types of barrels, plus different years of aging, in the end, they obtain a nomenclature of more than 150 rums, from the lightest and youngest one to the darkest and most complex.
