Carupano Rum Privada 21YO

Carúpano rum traces its roots to Hacienda Altamira (est. 1762) and was formally established as Destilería Carúpano in 1954 by the Morrison family; it is produced in eastern Venezuela under tropical ageing conditions, where high heat and humidity accelerate maturation and intensify interaction with ex-bourbon American oak casks. Carúpano is known for not adding sugar or sweeteners after distillation, keeping its profile aligned with traditional Venezuelan rum standards; it also follows local regulations requiring a minimum of two years’ ageing and prohibiting the topping up of barrels, which helps concentrate flavor over time.

Reserva Privada 21 YO is an ultra‑premium, long‑aged Venezuelan rum with a dark amber color and gold/orange highlights, showing on the nose rich, mature aromas of macerated red fruits (raisins, dates), coconut, orange peel, warm spices, wood, dried fruit, cinnamon, and mocha, and on the palate a thick, complex and elegant profile with dried fruits, toasted oak, tobacco, dark chocolate, and coconut notes that carry through a long, robust, flavorful finish.
