The Compagnie des Indes LATINO VENEZUELA 4 Years Old is a Venezuelan rum selected and bottled by the independent French bottler Compagnie des Indes. The brand is renowned for carefully selecting rums from various origins based on their individual character. This LATINO bottling originates from Venezuela and was matured for four years in ex-bourbon casks. The use of ex-bourbon casks shapes the rum during its cask ageing and complements the character of the distillate with typical influences from American oak. With its clearly defined provenance and age statement, this bottling offers an accessible introduction to the Compagnie des Indes range whilst also highlighting its Venezuelan origins.

After four years’ maturation in ex-bourbon casks, the Compagnie des Indes LATINO VENEZUELA 4 Years Old Rum is bottled at 40% in a 0.7-litre bottle. Unlike complex multi-origin blends, this variant focuses on rum from a single country of origin. The cask ageing ensures a balanced combination of the fundamental character of the Venezuelan distillate and the influences of the oak casks previously used for bourbon. As such, this 4-year-old rum from Venezuela is aimed at both newcomers and connoisseurs who wish to compare different rum origins and cask-maturation styles.
