Venezuela Rum 15 Year Old is a high-octane, unadulterated release from the Canadian independent bottler Bira! Rum. Distilled in February 2008 at the Destileria Sofa (part of the Corporación Alcoholes del Caribe) in Venezuela, it is a 100% column-still molasses rum. Unlike many mainstream Venezuelan rums that are heavily sweetened or diluted, this expression is a \"pure\" representation of the region. It was aged entirely in the tropics in ex-bourbon casks before being bottled at a formidable cask strength. It arrived as a highly exclusive release in 2025, primarily targeting the Canadian craft spirits market.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSpirit Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis rum is bottled at a powerful 62% ABV, yet it is noted for being surprisingly approachable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mild and inviting, featuring prominent aromas of apricot, stone fruits, and a playful hint of juicy fruit gum.
