Batch Kettle Rum was first introduced in fall 2017 as one of two limited edition rums in the Distillery Collection from Diplomático. This collection is named for the various types of stills used by the brand to produce its rums. The Batch Kettle is a semi-continuous still first brought to the distillery from Canada in 1959. It previously made whisky. This rum matured in American oak barrels. Each bottle is numbered with the date of distillation listed.

Minimal scent, hint of citrus. Strong tingle on tongue, but minimal burn. Not much flavor and smooth. Leaves you with a sense of satisfaction from a good rum. Additional sips change the flavor; sometimes oak with citrus, sometimes coffee or Carmel. 9/10 no ice.
The Batch Kettle still was first brought to Venezuela in 1959 from Canada. It was previously used in the production of Canadian Whiskey. I tried this out at Dramfest '18. Beautiful rich. 4. Top end of my sweetness tolerance though.
Very whisky forward with a rum finish. Slightly dry without the usual rum sweetness.
Very good sipping rum, although not nearly as complex as the Barbet #2.
Step down from Riserva - more bitter and some citrus at the end.
caremel nose with sweet Woody palate
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
