Ron Anejo Carupano Reserva Exclusiva 18 Year Rum (75cl, 40%)

A Venezuelan rum aged up to eighteen years in ex-bourbon American oak at Hacienda Altamira. European importers sell the same expression as Reserva Limitada 18, with matching datasheets and tasting notes. The distillery states reserves of up to 18 years. Where the 12 runs dark on maple and prune, the 18 turns golden, with candied fruits, almonds, honey and a long figs-and-chocolate finish. It shows beautiful amber with golden bright sparkles. The nose is delicate, with candied fruits, moderate wood, almonds and honey. The palate opens vigorously with firm, balanced body, and the finish is prolonged, with figs and chocolate.
