Staff Pick Notes

Venezuela is blessed by incredible landscapes, several Guinness records (largest waterfall in the world, most impressive lightning bolts, highest cable car, Largest rainforest), and two Miss Universe crowns in a row.

The distillery operates both a multi-column continuous still and a pot still. The 1796 rum is a combination of column distilled and pot still distilled rums. Bold, elegant, dry, smooth, and balanced rum with blends that are aged for up to 35 years in bourbon oak barrels, which then go through the artisanal Solera method.
