{"id":59,"count":1,"description":"Illinois, home to Chicago's world-class restaurant and cocktail scene, represents one of the most competitive premium spirits markets in the United States. Ron Carupano, Venezuela's most awarded rum, is now available at one authorized specialty retailer in Illinois, giving the state's rum enthusiasts and bar professionals access to the full additive-free Venezuelan rum lineup.\r\n\r\nThe eight Ron Carupano expressions cover every point on the premium rum spectrum, from the ultra-premium Legendario and three-time Gold Medal Reserva Privada, to the extended-age X.O. and vintage Reserve 1996, the limited-release Reserva Limitada and Reserva Exclusiva for collectors, the clear-aged Cristalino for cocktail programs, and the classic Reserva Especial as the best rum for everyday Venezuelan use. Every expression is produced at the historic Carupano distillery in Venezuela, in continuous operation since 1763, with zero additives: no added sugar, no caramel color, no flavor corrections of any kind.\r\n\r\nThree consecutive Gold Medals from independent international competitions (2024, 2025, 2026) validate what Illinois spirits professionals are discovering on the back bar.
