"Very intense red color, almost black. Very complex and intense aromas. Marked notes of red fruits and black olives, perfectly integrated with notes of spices and coffee from its maturation in barrels. Wine with great body and volume on the palate. Friendly tannins. Fresh, long." —winemaker

"A bright yellow-amber color turning to gold. A rich bouquet of honey underpinned by plenty of lemon and orange peel scents. honey on the palate with some apricot fruit is met by good, sturdy acidity around the mid-palate that carries the sweet honey and lemon flavors through to a long, extended finish." —importer

"Today, unlike most spirits, Black Seal includes products of both pot stills, as used in fine Cognacs, and continuous stills, as used in grappa. One imparts flavour, the other yields a subtle elegance. Together they work wonders. Gosling’s Black Seal has a rich, intricate flavour, well balanced and nuanced with butterscotch, vanilla and caramel. Or, as expressed up by the Beverage Tasting Institute when they awarded it their highest honor, the Platinum Medal: “Deep, assertive and highly flavoured. Very fragrant with herbal sharpness. At the finish there is a softness and elegance. A most complex, unusual spirit.” We were pleased, but hardly surprised. After all, we’ve been at this awhile." —producer

"Mantuano is the replacement for Diplomatico's Reserva rum. 'Mantuano', meaning 'nobleman', reflects Don Juancho's status and his passion for travel and the discovery of new spirits, mainly rums. Don Juancho is present on each of Diplomatico's rums. Aged for up to eight years, Mantuano is a blend of Column, Batch Kettle and Pot Still rums and made from molasses and sugar cane honeys. It is fantastic when mixed in cocktails, or sipped neat." —producer
