The best Christmas gifts for him
This limited edition gift set is a collaboration between Diplomatico and chocolatier Paul A. Young and includes a bottle of award-winning Reserva Exclusiva rum and Venezuelan dark chocolate orange segments. These two are designed to pair perfectly with each other, as the rum has notes of orange peel, dark chocolate, coffee and winter spice. A perfect combination to enjoy on Christmas Day, just after you've sworn you couldn't eat another thing.
