Destileria Carupano Ron Añejo Carúpano Legendario

This Carupano Legendario is a long aged Venezuelan ron from Destileria Carupano, carrying a twenty five year statement and bottled at a soft 40%. It is a column still molasses rum in the smooth, dessert leaning Venezuelan tradition, aged in ex-bourbon and built for elegance and balance rather than power.

Despite the low strength, the extended ageing gives it real depth. The nose offers chocolate, wood, raisin and an earthy note, the palate carries wood, caramel, chocolate and dried fruit, and the finish lingers on wood, raisin, vanilla and chocolate. Reviewers praise its smooth, well balanced profile, its fruity character with light wood and nuts, and a pleasing walnut note, with the alcohol well integrated for the proof. Added sugar is not disclosed, and while it sits on the soft, rounded side, the quarter century of age lends it a depth and refinement that lift it above everyday Venezuelan bottlings.
