The Cigar

Heuvo De Oro Chameleon. 5 X 46 Petite Corona
From Camaleon Cigars, Dominican Republic cigar or medium strength. Nicaraguan Criollo ’98 binder and filler, Habano wrapper. Creamy, Woodsy, and Peppery. Construction was good and they burned very well without correction (for Darrell, Bill needed a correction) and had a good draw.

 

 

 

The Liquor

Diplomatico Mantuano. 
Diplomatico began in Venezuela in 1959, with the establishment of the distillery where all of its rums are produced. At that time Licorerías Unidas S.A (LUSA) owned the distillery and the main shareholder was Seagram’s International, which was one of the biggest wine and spirits companies in the world.

 

In 2002 LUSA was put up for sale, including assets such as the distillery and a premium rum brand called Diplomático. Initially, it was exclusively sold in its local market. A group of Venezuelan entrepreneurs, most of them with extensive experience in the spirits industry, believed in the potential of this company. They decided to take their chance and made an offer to acquire it. That same year LUSA became 100% Venezuelan and privately owned, and adopted its current name: Destilerías Unidas S. A. (DUSA). The company is one of the largest rum producers in Venezuela.

 

Aged up to 8 yrs in white oak which were previously bourbon and malt whiskey barrels. It is derived from sugar cane molasses and honeys.

 

The Nose has aroma of dried fruits (plums), oak and a delicate spiciness. The mouth is complex and well-balanced, with notes of dried fruits, wood and vanilla. Concludes with a harmonious and slightly dry finish
