About Diplomatico
Diplomático is produced in La Miel, Venezuela, at a distillery whose roots go back to 1959. The brand itself was launched later and grew out of that wider distilling operation, before a major turning point in 2002, when the business was acquired by Venezuelan investors and became Destilerías Unidas (DUSA). Another important milestone followed in 2022, when Brown-Forman acquired Diplomático, giving the brand a larger global platform while production remained tied to its Venezuelan home.
Diplomático has built its reputation around a rich, rounded style and a strong emphasis on blending, with Reserva Exclusiva becoming the bottle most closely associated with the name. The range now stretches from accessible bottlings such as Mantuano through to more premium releases including Selección de Familia and Ambassador, helping establish Diplomático as one of the best-known premium rum brands to come out of Venezuela.
