Ron Cartavio Rum
Peruvian rum, honest prices, poured in Commack for years.
The story behind Ron Cartavio
Ron Cartavio is a Peruvian rum, and Peru is one of the quieter corners of Latin American cane spirits. The country grows sugarcane along its coastal valleys, and its rums are typically column distilled from molasses, then aged in oak. That method gives a lighter, cleaner body than the heavy pot still rums of the English Caribbean, with a soft sweetness and a dry finish.
We have carried the Cartavio line for years because it does the everyday job well. The Anejo 2 Yr brings a touch of barrel softness, the Gold sits bright and mixable, and the Silver is the clean base for a proper daiquiri. Nothing here is precious. It is honest rum at an honest price, and that is exactly why it keeps moving off our shelves.

Which Ron Cartavio is right for you?
All three Cartavio bottles sit at $13.99, which is the kind of pricing that makes rum an easy everyday pour rather than a special occasion purchase. The Anejo 2 Yr comes in a 750mL bottle, while the Gold and Silver are full liters, so the mixing bottles stretch further. At this price, keep a silver for cocktails and a gold for the bar cart.
A full liter of clean, dry rum for daiquiris and highballs at a low entry price.
Light oak and soft caramel, easy neat or over ice without spending much.
A liter of bright, mixable gold rum that carries rum and cola for a crowd.
