FOUNDED IN 1762, BY THE SPANISH CAPTAIN FELIX DEL FIERRO, THE HACIENDA ALTAMIRA IS A PERFECT PARAGON FOR REPRESENTING THE 250 YEARS OLD HISTORY OF RON CARUPANO. THE TRANSFORMATIONS IT HAS UNDERGONE THROUGH TIME, MIRRORS THE LIFE CYCLE OF RUM ITSELF. IT WAS, AT THE HACIENDA ALTAMIRA WHERE THE FIRST AGING PROCESSES TOOK PLACE, WHEN SPIRITS FROM SUGAR CANE ALCOHOL WAS PRODUCED AND WENT UNSOLD, IT WAS KEPT IN BARRELS IMPORTED FROM EUROPE, WHICH ORIGINALLY HAD CONTAINED WINE. THE RESULT WAS AGED RUM, A TERM DENOTING A FINER SUGAR CANE
ALCOHOL THAT NEEDS MORE TIME AND CARE FOR ITS PREPARATION, CLOSER TO A TRUE LIQUEUR ART THAN JUST AN ADEQUATE DISTILLATION TECHNIQUE.

THIS IS AN EXCEPTIONAL EXTRA AGED RUM 40o G.L., WITH LONG AGING IN SEALED WHITE AMERICAN OAK BARRELS WITHOUT REPLACEMENT OF ANNUAL ANGEL’S SHARE AND WITH RESERVES ORIGINALLY DISTILLED AND SEALED IN 1991, EVOLVING IN THEIR UNDERGOING A UNIQUE PROCESS OF MATURATION THAT SINGLED THEM OUT TO BE CHOSEN TO CREATE AN AGED RUM WITH RARE AND UNPARALLELED FLAVOR NOTES IN AN ANNUAL SPECIAL EDITION OF ONLY 5.000 BOTTLES OF FRENCH CRYSTAL CUT DECANTERS.
