Diplomático history

From Don Juancho to the international brand

The history of Botucal Rum - known internationally as Diplomático - begins with the figure of Don Juancho Nieto Meléndez, a 19th century Venezuelan gentleman who was passionately dedicated to researching high-quality spirits and rum production. At his Hacienda Botucal, he began to develop his own recipes and to collect, store and refine various rums - a tradition that still forms the foundation of the brand today.

Diplomático Rum was officially launched in 1959 with the founding of Destilerías Unidas S.A. (DUSA) in Venezuela. Named after the freedom fighter Simón Bolívar, whose portrait adorned the labels for a long time, the brand quickly became a symbol of Venezuelan rum art. Produced in the Hacienda Botucal, the rum combines traditional craftsmanship, regional ingredients and sophisticated ageing methods. Today, Botucal in Germany and Diplomático worldwide stand for first-class rums with a complex aroma and deeply rooted cultural heritage.

Origin meets identity

The name Botucal comes from an indigenous term and translates as “green hill” - a direct allusion to the lush, fertile Venezuelan landscape where the sugar cane for the rum is grown. This region, characterized by a tropical climate, mineral-rich soils and rolling hills, offers ideal conditions for the cultivation of high-quality sugar cane - the basis for the production of Botucal Rum.

The choice of name combines origin, closeness to nature and cultural identity. It underlines the brand's commitment to regional resources, traditional methods and sustainable agriculture. Botucal therefore not only stands for first-class rum quality, but also for deep roots in the terroir of its raw materials.

The philosophy behind the brand

Diplomático Rum pursues a philosophy of perfection and authenticity. The brand attaches great importance to the use of high-quality, natural ingredients and careful production. Every step, from the selection of raw materials to bottling, is carried out with the utmost care to ensure a product of the highest quality.

The products at a glance

Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva

Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva is considered the brand's flagship and delights connoisseurs worldwide with its rich, complex taste profile. It is characterized by notes of toffee, vanilla, dried fruit and fine chocolate, which make this premium rum an ideal companion for pure enjoyment - but it also shines as a base for sophisticated cocktails. The rum is made from high-quality molasses, which is distilled in small copper stills in a way that is particularly gentle on the aroma. The rum then matures for up to 12 years in carefully selected oak barrels, developing its velvety texture and depth.

Diplomático Mantuano

Diplomático Mantuano is a versatile premium variant within the Diplomático portfolio that impresses with its balanced and harmonious taste profile. With notes of dried fruit, oak and fine spices, this rum offers an aromatic depth that appeals to both beginners and experienced connoisseurs. The rum matures for up to eight years in oak barrels and is made from a blend of molasses and sugar cane honey distillates, some of which are processed in copper stills and some in column stills. This combination ensures a perfect balance between structure and elegance.

Diplomático Planas

Diplomático Planas is an exceptional white premium rum that impresses with its clarity and surprising complexity. Although colorless, it matures for up to six years in oak barrels before being carefully filtered to give it its clear look. This technique preserves the full aroma and makes Planas an elegant alternative to classic white rums. Its fresh, balanced flavor profile combines notes of coconut, coffee, vanilla and light citrus accents, making it perfect for fine cocktails such as daiquiri or mojito. However, thanks to its ageing, Planas also offers a pleasantly smooth and refined drinking experience straight on ice - ideal for connoisseurs looking for a white rum with depth.

Diplomático Single Vintage

Diplomático Single Vintage is an exclusive vintage rum that is only produced in selected, particularly good harvest years. After careful distillation in copper stills, this premium rum is first matured in American white oak barrels before being aged in sherry barrels - a process that gives it exceptional depth, elegance and aromatic complexity. With intense notes of dried fruit, dark chocolate, spices and fine wood, the Single Vintage is a rum for connoisseurs and special occasions. Its multi-layered character and long-lasting finish make it the perfect choice for pure enjoyment

Production

Traditional methods and 100% natural ingredients

Diplomático Rum is made from 100% natural sugar cane grown in the fertile soils of Venezuela. It is grown without the use of pesticides or artificial fertilizers to ensure the highest quality. Distillation is carried out using traditional methods in order to preserve the aromas in the best possible way.

Sustainable production

Diplomático Rum attaches great importance to sustainability. The distillery is energy-efficient and uses renewable energy. In addition, no additives such as sugar or colorants are used in order to preserve the purity of the product.

Strict quality controls

Diplomático Rum is subject to strict quality controls to ensure that every bottle meets the highest standards. From the selection of the sugar cane to the final bottling, every step is carefully monitored to ensure consistently high quality.

Legal reasons and significance for the German market

In German-speaking countries, the internationally renowned Diplomático brand appears under the name Botucal - a result of a legal trademark dispute. Another company owns the trademark rights to a similar-sounding name in Germany, which is why Diplomático is not allowed to sell its products under the usual name in this country. In order to avoid confusion and ensure continued distribution, the brand was renamed in Germany.

The name Botucal is derived from the word “Botuka”, which means “green hill” in the indigenous language of the region - a reference to the rum's natural origins in Venezuela. Despite the name change, the quality, origin and production remain identical to the international Diplomático brand. For consumers, this means that Botucal is the same premium rum in terms of content - just under a different name.
