Nose: Rich aromas of caramel and molasses greet the senses, followed by hints of ripe plum and cinnamon. A subtle saltiness emerges, reminiscent of sea breeze, alongside notes of damp oak and delicate red flower petals.

Palate: Smooth and velvety on the tongue, with prominent flavors of maple syrup and quince. Prune and honey sweetness balances nicely against warm baking spices like clove. The oak influence is present but not overpowering, lending a pleasant woodiness to the overall taste.

Finish: Medium to long finish with lingering notes of caramel and dried fruit. A slight warmth from the alcohol remains, accompanied by a subtle spiciness that slowly fades. The aftertaste is clean and balanced, leaving a pleasant memory of the rum's complex flavors.

Ron Carúpano 12 Reserva Exclusiva Rum is crafted from 100% sugarcane molasses and aged for up to 12 years in sealed white American oak barrels. What sets this rum apart is that the barrels remain sealed throughout the aging process, preventing the usual replacement of the "Angel's Share" and resulting in a more concentrated, complex flavor profile.

  • Ron Carúpano 12 Reserva Exclusiva is aged in sealed white American oak barrels, preventing the usual "Angel's Share" evaporation. This unique method results in a more concentrated flavor profile compared to traditionally aged rums.
  • The rum's distinctive taste is partly due to its aging location on Venezuela's Caribbean coast, where daily temperature fluctuations accelerate the aging process up to three times faster than in other regions.
