Venezuelan rum (Spanish: Ron de Venezuela) is a protected designation of origin, granted by the SAPI since 2003, to the rum brands of Venezuela that meet certain quality and origin requirements.[1]
Requirements of designation
The Venezuelan rum designation forbids the alteration of the mixture of rum by use of substances that provide artificial color, flavor or aroma.[2] These requirements also include the rum having, in the entirety of its components, a minimum of two years spent aging in white oak barrels and at least 40% anhydrous alcohol, and that none of the raw materials are mixed with molasses nor alcohol from other countries[3]
This denomination allows to differentiate Venezuelan rums from those of the rest of the world.[citation needed]
