Caramel, vanilla and coconut lead here, with coffee and burnt sugar underneath, in the mild Spanish style. One taster called it a nice easy sipper; others found it thin and vague, with an alcoholic note and a short finish. A 12-year Venezuelan column-still rum that reads soft and sweet rather than deep, so keep your expectations everyday.

How does Destileria Carupano Oro Reserva Exclusiva taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Mild, sweet Venezuelan sipper, a touch thin Opinions run from pleasant surprise to underwhelming. Most agree it's mild and sweet with caramel, coffee and coconut, but the body is thin and the finish fades fast.

Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Relaxed Venezuelan. A bit better and less sweet than Botucal.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
A rum in the cheap end and you can taste it. Probably good for a mixer.
Review by epicsune 🇸🇪
Sample no.6 of the 24 days of rum calendar 2022. Sweet on the nose with caramel and dried fruits. Palate has notes of coconut, vanilla and the sweet caramel. Mild and a nice sipping rum in the spanish style.
Review by rum_sk
Not my cup of rum. Very vague both on 👃 as well as 👅. In both cases there is vanilla, caramel, hints of coffee and burnt sugar and an alcoholic odour/taste which is quite unpleasant. It feels heavily diluted and thin. The finish is short to non existent. I do not recommend this rum but I am glad I could taste it but thats where it ends.
Review by Cédric Meyers
Pleasant on the nose and palate, nothing more. It remains a molasses rum. Interesting and powerful finish on chocolate and coffee.
Review by MJ72
Dark toffee and coconut dominant on the nose. Coconut dominates, a bit of vanilla, very mild with a good finish, the nut lingers.
Review by MoMcGurk
Went into this one with low expectations as I unscrewed the top. What a pleasant surprise! Nice oak flavoring, and a sweetness I can’t quite place. Little afterburn, and a bit better straight than mixed. Looking forward to trying the Limitada.
Review by Lutz Lungershausen
Light aromas on the nose, otherwise unimpressive
