Mantuano Diplomatico Rum originates near the Venezuelan city of La Miel, not far from the first slopes of the Andes mountain range. This area has a long history of producing exceptional rum, owing to the vast areas where the finest sugar cane varieties are cultivated. The distillates of the DUSA brand are based on sugar cane juice and molasses rich in aromas, processed according to the oldest local traditions. After the preparatory fermentation phase, the rum undergoes distillation in column stills. It is then aged in wooden barrels for at least eight years. At the end of the ageing process, the finest barrels are blended, and the bottling process begins.

Diplomatico Mantuano is a rather straightforward and fragrant rum. It presents itself with an amber hue and bright hints of antique gold. On the nose, it releases delicate and soft spicy aromas, hints of vanilla, dried fruit, candied fruit, dried plums, light caramel notes, and memories of noble woods. The entry on the palate is warm and enveloping, with a good aromatic profile and a broad, long sip that leads to a very persistent finish, returning to spicy sensations. It is a rum particularly suited for use in mixology to create elegant Caribbean cocktails or refreshing long drinks based on fresh tropical fruit juices.
