About Ron Carupano in New York City

New York City sets the standard for premium spirits culture in North America, and Ron Carupano, Venezuela’s most awarded rum, is arriving to meet it. While authorized NYC retailers are being confirmed and onboarded now, this page will be updated as soon as the full lineup becomes available in New York City stores.

Ron Carupano produces eight distinct expressions at its historic Carupano distillery in continuous operation since 1763. The flagship Legendario and three-time Gold Medal Reserva Privada represent Venezuelan rum at its most exceptional, ultra-premium, long-aged, and completely additive-free. The X.O. and vintage Reserve 1996 are the gifting expressions that New York City’s discerning spirits buyers have been asking for. The Reserva Limitada and Reserva Exclusiva offer limited-release depth for serious collectors. And for New York City’s celebrated cocktail programs, the Cristalino — a clear, barrel-aged rum with no parallel, and the classic Reserva Especial bring genuine Venezuelan provenance to the back bar.

Every expression shares the same commitment: no added sugar, no artificial color, no flavor corrections. The complexity in every glass comes exclusively from time, wood, and Venezuela’s unique tropical aging climate.

New York City retailers interested in carrying the Ron Carupano lineup are encouraged to reach out via the trade enquiry link below. For enthusiasts looking to find these expressions now, check the Florida pages for current availability or sign up for updates on New York City distribution.
