The Compagnie des Indes 2005 Veneragua 13yo is a unique multi-national blended rum, combining rums from Venezuela and Nicaragua. This limited small batch rum is composed of three barrels from Venezuela and two from Nicaragua, resulting in a buttery and caramel-forward rum with a balance of darker notes. Distilled in April 2005 and bottled in France in July 2018, this rum has been crafted without cold filtration, preserving its authentic flavors.
Compagnie des Indes Rums are celebrated for showcasing the diversity of taste and aromas, as well as the know-how and "Terroir" of each origin. The Veneragua Multi-distilleries 13yo at 45% ABV is no exception. This exquisite blend features a generous and open nose, with a solvent-like veil that glides over a concentrate of vanilla, tobacco, and caramelized wood. Exotic fruits swell and mature under the nose, while coconut is grilled over an open flame, adding depth and complexity.
On the palate, the rum is both round and concentrated, with a balance of toasted nutty flavors. With aeration, it takes on a beautiful fullness and power, projecting more than its 45% ABV. The dominant notes of coconut are complemented by vanilla and tobacco, providing excellent support. The well-balanced caramelization creates a harmonious blend.
The entry is soft, opening up to toasted and gourmet nutty flavors. Spices emerge shortly after, swarming over well-toasted wood and reminiscent of molasses. A well-grilled surface is covered with a fine layer of black licorice, resonating with the burnt flavor while adding a touch of indulgence.
The finish is soft and free of roasted notes, spreading out over tobacco, coconut, and vanilla. This rum offers a truly unique and complex profile, yet remains accessible and easy to drink. With only 1911 bottles produced, it represents a rare and exquisite experience for rum enthusiasts.

This rum from Compagnie des Indes, blended from 60% Venezuelan and 40% Nicaraguan rum, has received appreciative reviews for its well-balanced and approachable profile. Reviewers noted its sweet and fresh aroma dominated by caramel, fudge, and toffee, with fruity and nutty undertones. The taste starts with a full-bodied sweetness, featuring toffee and evolving into coffee, with a hint of peppery spice, licorice, and tobacco. The finish is short to medium, dry, and characterized by tobacco and leathery notes with a woody and slightly bitter aftertaste. While not considered a highlight by all, it's praised for being a pleasing and easy-to-drink rum with an excellent quality-to-price ratio.
