Destilería Carúpano
Place Category: Distilleries
Carupano distillery is located on the Altamira Hacienda in in the fertile and humid Macarapana Valley.
The Hacienda Altamira has 253 years of history making Carupano rum. It was founded in 1762 by the Spanish slaver Captain Felix del Fierro. It is in the Hacienda Altamira where for the first time the aging process was started when spirits produced could not be sold immediately and were kept in empty imported barrels of Europe that originally contained wine. This process of rum aging was refined carefully over the many years, so that today Carúpano Distilleries claims to produce the best rums.
