Ron Anejo Carupano XO Rum

Ron Añejo Carupano XO Rum – Ultra-Premium Extra Aged Venezuelan Rum | Destilería Carupano

Ron Añejo Carupano XO Rum is an extraordinary extra-aged Venezuelan rum from Destilería Carupano — one of South America's most storied and respected rum producers. Sourced from ancient private family reserves and aged for an exceptional length of time in sealed white American oak barrels, this XO expression represents the pinnacle of Venezuelan rum craftsmanship: a rum of rare depth, complexity, and refinement that belongs in the company of the world's finest aged spirits.

What sets the Carupano XO apart is its unique aging philosophy — long maturation in sealed barrels without the annual replacement of the angel's share, allowing the rum to develop an extraordinary concentration of flavor and character over time. Released as an annual limited and numbered edition of just 2,000 crystal cut decanters with fine casing, this is a collector's expression of the highest order. Bottled at 40% ABV (80° US Proof), it delivers elegance and intensity in equal measure.
