From the dedication of the Maestros del Ron Cubano comes the highest expression of the Cuban Rum making tradition: Santiago de Cuba Rum. Our rum is aged in the Don Pancho warehouse, renowned as ‘the cathedral of Cuban rum’. Its unique location is so close to the train tracks that legend tells the barrels tremble when they pass, influencing the ageing process. Our Maestros are particularly proud of the reserves of old barrels they use to create our unique liquid, some as old as 90 years. All of our rums undergo a natural ageing process as dictated by the Ron Cubano regulations.
What makes Ron Santiago de Cuba unique and recognizable from the minute you open a bottle is the incredible rich fruity aroma. The Rum Masters say its aroma is so unique that it gets picked up immediately in blind tasting and it’s what identifies it (alongside the taste) as coming from the different part of the Island. Rum from the Oriente region (South East of Cuba) is naturally sweeter due to the influence of the terroir and intensity of the sun.
The process of blending, charcoal filtration of the liquid, together with the use of different types of casks to bring out subtle variations of flavour, forms the age-old expertise of the Cuban Rum Masters. With 161 uninterrupted years of lineage, knowledge, skills and expertise in rum making that has been passed down through the generations of Maestros, Santiago de Cuba’s rum making tradition is unrivalled.
