Eminente - Ron de Cuba - Reserva - 7 years - End-of-year packaging

The Eminente Reserva 7-Year-Old Cuban Rum is a sublime spirit composed of 70% aguardientes—highly aromatic spirits distilled from molasses that add subtlety and depth—and 30% light rums that bring vitality. On the nose, it reveals enticing notes of coffee, roasted almond, and cocoa, capturing the essence of traditional light Cuban rum. The palate blends warm hints of vanilla and prune with a spicy touch of Sichuan pepper. The finish revisits smoky and toasted nuances, a complex interplay resulting from extended aging. Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail, it will delight even the most discerning spirits enthusiasts.

Eminente embodies the renaissance of Cuban rum, reviving the island's ancestral traditions reimagined by Cuba's youngest master rum distiller, César Martí.

Crafted with 70% aged cane spirits—the highest proportion of any Cuban rum—Eminente draws inspiration from 19th-century expertise and is aged for a minimum of seven years in ex-whisky barrels. This structured, aromatic rum perfectly balances delicacy and depth.
