Diplomático Rum x Morena: A Taste of Venezuela 

Last night, Drinks Trade staff attended an exclusive Diplomático Rum dinner hosted by Master Distiller and Blender Nelson Hernandez, who was visiting Australia for the first time. 

The dinner took place at Sydney’s Morena restaurant, and coincided with the launch of a new limited edition menu, A Taste of Venezuela, explained by Head Chef and Venezuelan-born Samuel Rivas. Morena’s A Taste of Venezuela menu has been created in partnership with Diplomático and will be available up until 12 August.

The month-long activation at Morena follows on from World Rum Day, which occurred last Saturday 13 July. In addition to the menu partnership with Morena, Brown-Forman Australia will also be giving away complementary Diplomático cocktails.

“We are thrilled to be extending our World Rum Day celebrations all month long, by giving Australians the chance to find their new favourite rum cocktail with our first ever complimentary offer,” said Dany Karpf, Diplomático Brand Manager, Brown-Forman ANZPI.

“This year, World Rum Day is particularly special as we have our Maestro Ronero, Nelson Hernandez visiting our shores for the first time... We can’t wait to show Nelson, who has been passionately crafting Diplomático blends for over three decades, the incredible cocktails Australia’s top bartenders have created to perfectly pair with our rum.”
