Gilberto bio:

Gilberto Brinceño is one of the Master Blenders (Maestro Ronero) of Rum Diplomático. He has spent the last 30 years working in the spirits industry. Gilberto is extremely passionate about his work and enjoys sharing his knowledge with his colleagues. He takes great pride in his work at Diplomático and the ability to explain every step of the process to create an award-winning rum. A native of Barquisimeto, Venezuela, Gilberto studied at Universidad Politécnica Antonio Jose de Sucre and graduated as a Chemical Engineer in 1985. Soon after he graduated, Gilberto began working at Licorerías Unidas S.A. (LUSA), now known as Destilerías Unidas S.A (DUSA), the parent company for Rum Diplomático. When Gilberto joined LUSA, Seagram’s International owned the company and it was one of the largest distributors of alcohol in the world. Gilberto held several positions at LUSA, including Packaging Material Manager where he was responsible for all packaging specifications and new product development. He was then promoted to Quality Assurance & Safety Manager, taking care of managing the quality labs (chemical, packaging and sensorial), as well as the safety and security systems.
In 1997, Gilberto moved to Montreal to work at the Seagram’s Montreal Technical Center, as Regional Manager for Quality Assurance. In 2000, Seagram’s was sold and Gilberto joined Pernod Ricard and transferred to Brazil in 2001 to work as the Quality, Safety and Environmental Director for all of Pernod Ricard America’s affiliates. Gilberto’s role there was to assure the quality and consistency of all products in the region, as well as to be a facilitator in sensorial analysis techniques and provide technical support. The role included traveling around the world to visit the operations facilities and provide support and training.
During his time working for Seagram’s and Pernod Ricard, Gilberto kept a strong link to LUSA, which became Destilerías Unidas S.A (DUSA) in 2002. DUSA’s management maintained a direct relationship with Gilberto and the companies he represented over the years. 
In 2007, Gilberto moved back to Venezuela and began working for Pernod Ricard Venezuela in Caracas, as Senior Manager of Quality Assurance. He continued working with DUSA as a planner and quality auditor for the Pernod Ricard products, as DUSA was a co-packer of Pernod Ricard in Venezuela. In 2014, Gilberto came full circle and began working as a Quality Assurance Manager at DUSA. Shortly thereafter he was promoted to Master Blender of Rum Diplomático. Gilberto is very proud to hold this position, which represents a natural evolution in his career.
In his free time, Gilberto enjoys listening to music, reading and walking in the evenings. He also enjoys traveling around the world to understand other cultures. Gilberto is married with two sons.
