Diplomatico N°3 Pot Still Rum

A perfectly-aged, limited edition expression of Diplomatico Rum produced exclusively in their original copper pot still from 1959.

The Licorerías Unidas S.A Distillery was founded in 1959 deep in the heart of Venezuela in partnership with Seagrams. The partnership was very successful, supporting Rum production in the Seagrams portfolio for decades. During the acquisition binge of the 1990s, Seagrams was largely acquired by industry giant Diageo who already had a large production capacity. Seeing an opportunity, local management and entrepreneurs bought the distillery and the Diplomatico brand from Diageo in 2002, renaming it Distilería Unidos. Today they produce a wide array of quality Spirits under family ownership.

Distilería Unidos has long practiced a variety of distilling techniques. The famously have several different still types that they use with intent and craftsmanship to create different flavor profiles. They created the new "Distillery Collection" to highlight the effects of each type of still on the Spirit.

Diplomatico N°3 Pot Still Rum — as the name implies — is a small batch Rum created using on the original copper pot still installed when the distillery was founded in 1959. This limited edition release was distilled in 2010 and only 5000 bottles were produced.
