The Prestige Range Flagship, Bottled From the Barrel
Ambassador is drawn from the distillery's most exclusive reserves and produced in limited quantities: heavy pot still rums rest in white oak until they reach optimal maturity — never less than twelve years — before the long Pedro Ximenez finish that gives the rum its port-wine depth. At 47% ABV it needs no chill-filtration and, per the house, carries no added sweeteners or caramel. Explore the house on the Diplomatico vendor page, or browse our rum collection.
Tasting Notes
Per the brand: aromas reminiscent of port wine, dried fruits and cigar boxes; complex on the palate with cinnamon, nutmeg and toasted oak, leading to a long, pleasing aftertaste.
How to Enjoy
Neat, as the house recommends — a rum of this age and strength is a sipper, and a small splash of water only opens the dried fruit further. More aged rum is in our rum collection.
