Diplomatic Planas Rum Blanco 47% Venezuela

A world away from Bacardi, this is an altogether different spirit. Six years of ageing deliver a rich, creamy texture with notes of fresh cut grass, citrus and coconut, and a lovely incisive bite that just cries out for a proper Daiquiri that doesn't skimp on sourness. Try Embury's formula: 2 shots of rum, 0.5 lime juice, 0.25 sugar syrup, shaken hard over ice.
