Diplomático To Host A Virtual Tasting This National Rum Day

Ready to take customers on a virtual rum journey, Diplomático partners with Australia’s first dedicated digital bar to launch the limited-edition Exclusiva Exclusive. A custom cocktail kit that champions the signature Reserva Exclusiva, with all the mixers, garnishes, and dark spirit knowledge you might need to celebrate this National Rum Day (August 16th).

Like stepping into a speakeasy, from the comfort of your own home, Box Bar is the first dedicated digital bar to come from the founders of Sydney-based venue The Fox Hole. Leaning into the demand for convenience and bringing the booze to you, this limited-edition cocktail kit heroes the most approachable yet admired spirit from Diplomático’s range. Reserva Exclusiva marries a classic body of flavours (orange peel, toffee, and liquorice) with the finest of finishing notes (hints of fudge), which is what grants the spirit such global prestige.

“The Diplomático range, though Reserva Exclusiva specifically, has the unique ability to bring more life and a touch of sweetness to classic rum cocktails. Partnering with Box Bar means we’re able to share this experience with Australian consumers on a larger scale, and what better way to celebrate new and loyal rum enthusiasts than by owning National Rum Day”, says Sai Hamsala, Diplomático Brand Ambassador.

Alongside the Diplomático samples and a cocktail recipe guide, anyone to place an order via Box Bar and have the Exclusiva Exclusive delivered to their door, will be granted access to a rum masterclass hosted by Sai Hamsala, Diplomático Brand Ambassador, and James Harvey-Fiander, Chief Experience Officer at Box Bar. An opportunity to learn the art of cocktail creation from renowned mixologists, these hour long sessions will showcase signature serves of Diplomático and highlight the overall premium nature of the Venezuelan-born spirit.

“The way we connect with other people and enjoy a drink has changed forever - hence the birth of Box Bar. We think you ought to be able to try new and interesting drinks no matter your location or situation, and when it comes to keeping atop the trends, Diplomático deserved a spotlight for both its unique brand story and flavour profile”, says James Harvey-Fiander, Chief Experience Officer at Box Bar.

For those now more inclined to enjoy a night in than a night out, or simply if you’re rum obsessed, Diplomático x Box Bar is a beautiful way to sample some of the industry’s best.
