Diplomático Botucal No. 3 2010 8Y Pot Still Rum With Box 47% 70cl

This exceptional Diplomático Botucal No. 3 is a decadent journey into the heart of artisanal Venezuelan distillation. Far more than a traditional light or blended spirit, it is a striking fusion of heavy pot still density, precise climate maturation, and a world-class finish. Crafted as an elite showcase for the exclusive Distillery Collection, this 8-year-old single-vintage release is the rum that, as they say, "pushes the limit just a bit too far!" by stepping away from column distillation to isolate the raw, full-bodied elegance of their copper pots. Created with an uncompromising focus on texture and heavy gourmandise, this 2010 masterpiece transforms a classic Venezuelan profile into a rich, liquid dessert. It is a bold statement of craftsmanship, perfect for those who seek a spirit that is as thick, generous, and satisfying as a piece of artisan chocolate fudge.

A Masterclass in Refinement Every bottle of No. 3 Pot Still Rum embodies the art of copper alembic distillation and patient estate aging. The deep, velvety character of this rum was forged through a precise technical and historical process:

  • 100% Copper Pot Still Distillation: Crafted entirely using the distillery’s historic copper pot stills, a slow batch-distillation process that captures the heaviest, oiliest, and most flavor-dense congeners.

  • The 8-Year American Oak Alliance: Patiently matured for 8 long years in premium ex-bourbon barrels, allowing the wood to perfectly sweeten and structure the heavy copper spirit.

  • Single-Vintage 2010 Selection: Distilled in a single exceptional year, ensuring a highly focused small-batch profile that showcases the absolute apex of the estate's heavy rum style.

  • The Distillery Collection Proof: Bottled at a precise and robust 47% ABV, a sweet spot that delivers far more character and a more luxurious mouthfeel than the standard range.

Tasting Experience Inside the bottle lies a profile so rich and velvety that it feels like a warm, comforting embrace in a glass.

  • Nose: For the aroma and fruit lovers! You are immediately immersed in a rich, highly inviting bath of ripe bananas and sweet dried apricots—thick, warm, and flowing. Then, a "diva" makes her entrance: creamy vanilla custard, beautifully layered with a sophisticated hint of subtle baking spices and charred toasted oak.

  • Palate: Pure indulgence. The term "full-bodied and complex" understates the reality; the rum literally melts on the palate with a luxurious entry. The density and "fat" are remarkable, offering heavy layers of buttery butterscotch, rich dark chocolate, and caramelized nuts, all wrapped in a gentle, comforting warmth from the copper pots.

  • Finish: Long, smooth, and beautifully lingering. The texture clings elegantly to the palate, leaving a highly sophisticated, harmonious trail of sweet molasses, rich cocoa, and a touch of warm, spicy undertones that rounds out the experience flawlessly.
