Inspired by the ‘Mantuanos’, Venezuelan noblemen in the 19th century renowned for their discernment and diplomacy. They travelled widely, trading local artisanal goods, and became trusted local ambassadors who championed their region wherever they went. True diplomats of the era, their story inspired our name. The Diplomático distillery is located at the foot of the Andes Mountains in Venezuela, where the purest waters flow. This location was also carefully selected for its proximity to the main sugar cane processing plants.
The distillery is unique in that it houses three different distillation processes that, combined with mastery in the art of blending, produce iconic rums such as the world-acclaimed Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva. Diplomático places a high value on quality and authenticity in the production process, supporting employees and the local community, and protecting the environment through its "Distilled Consciously" platform with sustainable production practices. Indeed, as part of Diplomático's philosophy, respecting and protecting the environment has always been one of its main objectives.
In 2023, Diplomático Rum is acquired by Brown-Forman and continues its growth journey. Consistently ranked among the finest rums in the world.
La Maison Fontaine® Verte, a newly crafted close relative to the Fontaine Blanche, is our take on the green fairy – la fee verte.
The Pontarlier-grown Grande Absinthe in combination with the natural herbal colouration creates a classic complex floral Verte with rich herbal & peppery notes. By adding chilled water to Fontaine Verte, a stimulating and refreshing drink is created with a vintage green louche. Some prefer a more intense flavour and sip it neat or pour it over ice.
Fontaine Verte is also a wonderfully versatile spirit that can be mixed into an array of sublime cocktails. We call this The Art of Imagination.
Old gold colour. This rich Cognac is supple and indulgent and is characterised by its aromatic complexity where the aromas of cedar wood, candied fruits and honey mix. The taste is complex and expressed with candied fruits and spices, including cinnamon. The wood aromas bring great length and incomparable richness. It is followed by a very supple honeyed finish sustained by citrus, honey, cigar box and candied orange notes.

There are countless brands that offer creative twists on the traditional gin formula: Hendricks, with cucumber and rose; Aviation, with lavender and sarsaparilla; The Botanist, with mint and chamomile.
