Selección de Familia is a super-premium rum rafted in Venezuela. It is primarily distilled in copper pot stills (90%), combined with a small portion of batch kettle and column still rums (10%).
It contains specifically selected rums aged for up to 12 years in charred American white oak barrels, and after the initial blending process, it is finished in a selection of Bourbon, Whisky and Sherry casks before the final marriage.
Spicier and drier than the Reserva Exclusiva, this is to be enjoyed neat or sipped over ice.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Rich, dark and intense. Stewed orange flesh, charred peel and fruity jelly are backed up by singed caramel. As it sits in the glass, lighter sweet and floral notes develop – rose, honeysuckle and sweet barley sugar – as well as darker fruit and soft, sweet spice: rich fruit cake and brown-sugar-dusted cinnamon buns. Palate: An initial candied sweetness leads to a balanced core of toffee and singed caramel – rich and bittersweet. Vanilla toffee, singed orange peel and soft char notes build, followed by wine-gum and boiled-sweet fruitiness. Spice lies underneath, with dark fruit cake liberally dusted with cinnamon and nutmeg. Finish: Dark, bittersweet caramel notes lead, fading to leave char, apple and orange peel, and lingering sugar-dusted raisins. Comment: A perfectly balanced example of what Diplomatico rum is all about, combining darker, richer and sweeter notes with spiced complexity and fresher fruity notes.

Yes, a lovely expression from Ardnmurchan. As young as it is (5yrs old I believe), it tastes twice its maturity!
Very well made, delicious & beautifully complex smells & flavours to savour.
Having been fortunate enough to visit Scotland’s little gem distillery twice in the past ( amongst several others) it soon became my favourite dram. This like all its predecessors is a pleasure to savour and a real treat . The only problem is the self discipline required to make the bottle last long enough and show the respect and gratitude to its makers in producing this and in my humble opinion all others from Scotland’s little gem.
