Daveco Beer Wine & Spirits proudly stands as one of Colorado’s most respected destinations for premium and aged spirits — and its official partnership with Ron Carúpano reflects exactly the caliber of selection that Colorado residents and visitors have come to expect from this outstanding establishment.
Ron Carúpano is Venezuela’s most internationally celebrated rum brand, and its story is one of the most compelling in all of fine spirits. Founded over 250 years ago in the Carúpano Valley of eastern Venezuela — a lush, mountainous region where the tropical climate creates ideal conditions for accelerated barrel aging — the brand has never deviated from its founding principles: pure sugarcane, sealed American white oak barrels, and absolute refusal to add colorants, artificial flavors, or sugar to any expression. What emerges from those barrels is rum in its most authentic, uncompromised form.
La gama de Ron Carúpano representa todo un espectro de excelencia. El Añejo 6 Reserva Especial presenta la filosofía de la marca con una calidez afrutada y un final limpio y accesible, perfecto para cócteles o para degustar sin pretensiones. El Reserva Exclusiva 12 se adentra en el territorio de la auténtica gama premium, ofreciendo una compleja combinación de vainilla, almendra tostada, avellana y fruta tropical seca que se desarrolla maravillosamente en un final prolongado. El Reserva Limitada 18 lleva la experiencia aún más lejos, ofreciendo capas de chocolate negro, canela, cáscara de naranja y madera ahumada que le han valido calificaciones consistentemente altas de críticos independientes, incluyendo una puntuación de 93 puntos que lo sitúa firmemente en la categoría de élite. El Reserva Privada 21 es, por consenso prácticamente universal entre los especialistas en ron, uno de los mejores rones para degustar producidos en cualquier parte del mundo: una expresión con una calificación de 95 puntos que destaca por su extraordinaria profundidad, complejidad y elegancia persistente. Y luego está el Legendario 25 Single Barrel: un tesoro de coleccionista, limitado a solo 500 decantadores de cristal al año, envejecido durante 25 años sin reponer el licor evaporado, lo que convierte a cada botella en una expresión única e irremplazable del mejor terruño del Valle de Carúpano.
At Daveco Beer Wine & Spirits 1 in Denver, Colorado, this complete portfolio is available to the spirits enthusiasts who understand that great rum is not measured by marketing budgets but by the integrity of the craft behind every bottle. Ron Carúpano has earned its medals honestly — Gold and Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, top honors at the World Rum Awards, and recognition from Wine Enthusiast as among the finest aged rums available in the United States. In 2025, the brand continued its winning streak with additional Gold Medal recognition at multiple competitions, cementing its position as the best Venezuelan rum available in America.
What makes Ron Carúpano particularly significant for Colorado spirits enthusiasts is the brand’s absolute commitment to zero additives — a distinction that matters enormously in a rum market where many producers add up to 40 grams of sugar per liter to compensate for inferior aging. Every bottle at Daveco Beer Wine & Spirits 1 represents the real thing: rum as it was made for generations, built entirely on the quality of its raw ingredients and the patience of its master distillers.
