Our Story
The
Company
The story of Ron Roble Viejo® begins with the dream of 4 friends who came together to create the best Rum in the world. This group of rebels started a quest for the perfect formula, committed to the development of a Venezuelan Rum that would become a standard of reference all over the world. We prioritize quality over quantity, patiently demonstrating that nothing substitutes the lengthy and constant care of our reserves. We only produce limited editions that are bottled only when matured enough to become exceptional products.

D.O.C. Ron de Venezuela
In 1954 the Venezuelan Government established a groundbreaking Law, the first regulation worldwide to determine the conditions to elaborate a rum. By this Law, Venezuelan producers were obliged to age sugarcane alcohols for a minimum of two Years in order for the distillate to be considered a Rum.
The first Controlled Origin Denomination (D.O.C.) for Rum was established in Venezuela in 2003, this certifies the origin and quality of our rums. The D.O.C. establishes strict regulations regarding origin, aging and alcohol level, and all D.O.C. certified Rums are audited on a yearly basis.
All D.O.C. Ron de Venezuela Rums have to be aged for a minimum of 2 Years in Oak Casks, made from Venezuelan Sugar Cane (Molasses) and have an alcohol content between 40% and 50%.
At Ron Roble Viejo® we are proud to be a part of the D.O.C. Ron de Venezuela.
