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.

In addition to the attention to detail at the distilleries, Venezuelan law requires that all rum bottled in Venezuela be aged at least two years, one of the longest aging laws in the industry.
