Venezuela
Located on the southern shore of the Caribbean Sea, Venezuela is a diverse geographic and cultural region. Sugar cane gave way to petroleum in the 1960s but rum continues to be a significant export. Like the geography and culture of the country itself, Venezuelan rum varies considerably. Though the bulk of the production is a very light character distillate, which is sold around the world as a blending component, there are also a number of medium bodied aged rums which deserve attention.
