The Carupano Reserva Limitada 18 is a premium rum from Venezuela, celebrated for its harmonious and smooth flavor profile, which has been meticulously developed through extensive aging. This exclusive edition is a masterful blend of rums aged between 5 and 18 years in American oak barrels that previously held bourbon. Notably, there is no topping up during the aging process— the angels' share (the portion of liquid lost to evaporation during aging) is not replaced, contributing to the rum's distinct character. Produced near the ocean in accordance with Spanish traditions, the Carupano Reserva Limitada 18 is distilled from molasses. The rum undergoes an extra-long aging period, with each batch matured separately in ex-bourbon barrels for up to 18 years, enhancing its unique profile. The rum presents a complex aroma that begins with sweet notes of caramel, vanilla, and chocolate, further enriched by hints of coconut and toasted wood. The palate is equally sophisticated, offering flavors of vanilla, chocolate, tropical fruits such as banana and pineapple, and subtle hints of raisins, figs, honey, oranges, coffee, tobacco, and a distinctive touch of brine— a hallmark of Ron Carupano rum. The Ron Carupano Reserva Limitada 18 is crafted by a distillery renowned for its meticulous production processes. Post-distillation, the rum is aged for an extended period in American white oak bourbon barrels. This careful attention to detail during the 18-year aging process has significantly influenced the rum's color, aroma, and taste, positioning it as an exceptional high-quality Venezuelan rum. A worthy competitor to classic Caribbean rums, this remarkable spirit is best enjoyed neat, allowing its mature and unique character to shine. Its relatively low alcohol content (40% ABV) offers an exquisite alternative to other rums from South and Central America, making it a standout in the Super-Premium segment.
