Home of a rum Denominación de Origen Controlada that restricts additives on paper — with real-world compliance that's more complicated.

Spirit typesRum

Venezuela operates a Denominación de Origen Controlada (DOC) for its rum, setting minimum ageing and restricting additives. On paper this is one of the stricter rum frameworks; in practice, independent testing of bottles like Pampero Aniversario has found sugar levels that sit awkwardly against the rules.
