Producer history Cacique
The Cacique brand was born in Venezuela in the late 1950s / early 1960s by entities linked to Licorerías Unidas / Destilerías Unidas; it quickly established itself in the domestic market and, over time, came under the control of large international groups. In January 2025 the ownership of the product line was transferred from Diageo to Bardinet (La Martiniquaise-Bardinet Group).
Production philosophy
Focus on smooth, fruity, easy-drinking rums, built through blends and ageing designed to achieve balance and roundness, with attention to consistency across the commercial range.
Territory
