Diplomatico Mantuano 40%
Tasting Note
A blend of 60% 4 year old Column Still, 30% 8 year old Pot Still and 10% Batch Kettle Still spirit.
Tasted: Feb 2017
Earthy, but crisp column still notes on the nose with hints of heavier pot still spirit. Chunky dried fruit, molasses and herbal notes follow along with a touch of citrus and vanilla oak.
The palate kicks off with the crisp column still spirit notes with hints of lightly oiled, herbal, dried, raisinated sweet fruit with the oak and pot still notes adding body. Long and subtly spiced with lingering crisp spirit notes and balancing molasses. The higher percentage of column still spirit makes it feel less sweet than the Reserva Exclusiva.
