The batch kettle still was brought to Diplomático’s La Miel distillery in 1959. This discontinuous distillation system is originally from Canada, where it was employed for the production of whisky. The batch kettle rum is mainly produced from sugar cane honeys and aged in American white oak barrels, that previously served to age bourbon and whisky, for 6 years.

Launched as part of their “Distillery Collection”, the Diplomatico No.1 Batch Kettle Rum was developed to highlight one of the elements that go into crafting their signature rum which in the case of this bottling is their Batch Kettle Still which was brought in from Canada back in 1959. Each bottle of this rum starts its life as high-quality sugar cane honey which are distilled in the aforementioned still and left to mature in ex-bourbon American white oak barrels, slowly developing its flavors before finally being brought to proof and bottled.

Palate: This is then followed by a rich and medium-bodied palate of more bananas and caramel, toffee, peppers, sweet spices, cola, oak, smoke, and a touch of minerality.
