Named Diplom¡tico in honor of the statesman who brought order and balance to a restless era in Venezuela during the 19th century, Reserva Exclusiva is the product of Venezuela's warm, tropical climate. The sunny days, cool nights, constant breeze and abundant rainfall create an idyllic environment for growing and cultivating juicy, fresh sugarcane. Once the sugarcane is harvested, fermented and distilled into rum, it is matured in used bourbon and Scotch whisky casks for up to 12 years.
