Description
What kind of spirit is this
Ron Añejo by Carupano is a dark rum crafted from local molasses, adhering to the strict standards of the Venezuelan protected designation of origin. Distilled in column stills, the spirit develops a structured profile during maturation in American white oak casks. The sensory experience opens with aromas of caramel, honey, maple, and plum, accented by damp wood and a faint saline note. On the palate, it delivers a velvety texture with flavours of quince and warm spices, leading to a balanced, slightly dry finish.
Where it comes from
Originating from the Macarapana Valley at Hacienda Altamira, this spirit is shaped by a distinctive coastal microclimate. High humidity, elevated temperatures, and constant Caribbean breezes encourage an intense interaction between the rum and the wood during maturation. This natural process imparts a full-bodied character defined by toasted oak and a subtle salinity. Carupano has been based here since 1762, establishing a deep-rooted foundation for a long-standing distillation heritage closely tied to the regional environment.
How it is produced
Production begins with local molasses and pure spring water drawn from a private source. Following distillation in column stills, the rum matures in a tropical environment using American white oak and ex-bourbon barrels. The casks are deliberately not topped up, a technique that harnesses natural evaporation to concentrate the spirit’s properties. This meticulous method deepens the colour and enhances the aromatic complexity, ultimately delivering a perfectly balanced spirit with medium-long persistence and a remarkably smooth texture.
