About Ron Carupano in Valparaiso

There is a quiet irony to the fact that Valparaiso, Indiana, a city named after the great Chilean port through which South American trade once flowed to the world, is now home to one of Venezuela’s most celebrated exports. Ron Carúpano, Venezuela’s most awarded premium rum, is available at a select specialty retailer in Valparaiso, bringing the full additive-free Venezuelan rum lineup to Porter County and the broader northwest Indiana market.

The eight Ron Carúpano expressions represent every dimension of the premium rum category. The Classics & Ultra-Premium: the approachable Legendario, the three-time Gold Medal Reserva Especial, the extended-age X.O., and the single-vintage Reserve 1996. The Limited Collectors: Reserva Limitada and Reserva Exclusiva. Distinctive Blends: the barrel-aged Cristalino and the small-batch Reserva Privada.

Each expression is produced at the historic Destilería Carúpano in Venezuela, founded in 1763, one of the oldest active rum distilleries in the Americas, and features a strict zero-additive policy with no added sugar, caramel color, or flavor corrections. Three consecutive Gold Medals from independent international competitions in 2024, 2025, and 2026 confirm the quality that makes Ron Carúpano one of the finest rums available in Valparaiso and across the Chicago–Indiana corridor.
