Carúpano (rum)

Carúpano is a brand of rum produced in Venezuela. The rum is named after the city of Carúpano, located in the state of Sucre, Venezuela, where the distillery is situated. The distillery, Hacienda Carúpano, boasts a long history, dating back to the 18th century, although the official brand was established later.

Carúpano rum is known for its aging process and quality. The rums are aged in American white oak barrels, some using a solera system. The brand produces a range of rums, varying in age and complexity, from lighter, younger expressions suitable for cocktails to older, more refined sipping rums.

Key characteristics often associated with Carúpano rums include notes of vanilla, caramel, dried fruit, and spice. The specific flavor profile varies depending on the particular expression within the Carúpano range.

The brand has garnered international recognition and awards for its quality. It is considered one of Venezuela's premium rum producers, and its rums are exported to various countries around the world.
