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 18 years in American Oak barrels, which give it its great aroma profile.
It has a beautiful amber color. Delicate on the nose with aromas of candied fruit and moderate notes of wood, almonds and honey. Opens vigorously, with a firm and balanced body. Pleasant persistence on the palate, finish with a prolonged dispersal of fig and chocolate flavors.
