THE FIRST PREMIUM RUM FROM VENEZUELA:
Destilería Carupano is a Venezuelan company founded in 1762 in Macarapana-Carúpano, Venezuela, known for producing various types of aged rum and not fully aged products such as rum blends. The Ron Carúpano distillery is a family business that has developed over 4 generations.
Demanding country regulations, exceptional microclimate, pure spring water and 260 years of mixing mastery are the elements that make this rum special. In addition, there is the special ripe place. Ripened on the Caribbean coast, northeast of Venezuela, where high temperatures during the day and low temperatures at night optimize the aging process.
Carmen López de Bastidas, is the first certified Female Master Blender in Venezuela. She has given the rums from "Ron Carupano" a nurturing and unmistakable touch. For 33 years the distillery has benefited from her oversight, directing blends that truly strike the balance between what is elegant and smooth yet full of character, typical of a distillate.
This rum was allowed to mature for 12 years in American white oak barrels, which give it its great aroma profile.
Aromas of red flowers, caramel, maple syrup, plum, sweet spices such as cinnamon and cloves, saline and damp wood scents fill the air. On the palate this rum is smooth and has sweet, elegant hints of maple, plum and quince. The finish is medium-long and also slightly sweet on the tongue.
