Diplomático Planas White Rum

Diplomático Planas is an elegant white sipping and cocktail rum crafted at the foot of the Andes Mountains in Venezuela. Matured for up to six years in American white oak barrels, it undergoes a complex six-time charcoal filtration to remove color while preserving remarkable barrel richness. Notes of fresh coconut, creamy cappuccino, marshmallow, and gentle oak spice lead into a long, clean finish. Elevates a Daiquiri to an extraordinary level.

This listing is for the 750 ml size. At a 1-ounce cocktail measure, that volume provides approximately 25 pours before allowing for spills or a different recipe.

Try a small pour first, either neat or with a single cube, to decide how you want to use the rum. For a longer serve, add ice, ginger beer and a squeeze of lime. The mixer brings its own sweetness, so taste before adding syrup. Fresh lime provides a useful counterpoint and lets you adjust the drink a little at a time without committing to a complicated cocktail.

For a Daiquiri variation, shake 1 ounce of rum with half an ounce of fresh lime juice and a quarter-ounce of simple syrup over ice. Strain into a chilled glass and adjust the citrus or syrup to taste on the next pour. Different rum expressions change the character of this short recipe. Using the same proportions is a useful way to compare bottles while keeping the other ingredients consistent.
