About Diplomatico

At its location at the foot of The Andes in the Terepaima National Park, the Diplomatico distillery has been producing top-quality spirits for over 50 years and has achieved cult status with rum connoisseurs across the globe.

The skill of the master distiller and the craft of the master blender work in perfect harmony to create the Diplomatico range. This includes expressions differing in character, suggested drinking style and price, but all with the underlying hallmark of a rum of the highest calibre.

The face adorning the Diplomatico bottles is that of Don Juancho, a famed Venezuelan philanthropist who had one of the most extensive rum collections in The Americas.  He was the quintessential socialite and bon vivant, his house is on the distillery grounds becoming a symbol of Venezuelan hospitality.
