An Illustrated Venezuelan Bottling
The label frames a dramatic plateau and waterfall through an aircraft window. Its detailed artwork sits alongside the age, batch and strength, giving this bottling a clear identity beyond the broader C.A.C.D. range.
Japanese retailers list this release in connection with Boutique-y's tenth-anniversary bottlings. This is historical release context, not a statement of the rum's bottling year. Browse our spirits collection for other independently bottled expressions.
