Havana Club Ritual Cubano. This Havana Club release has been around since 2012. It was created for the Spanish market. In Spain light Cuban or Latin style rum is very popular.
Cuban Rums such as Ron Varadero, Ron Caney. Legendario and Ron Mulata are popular and common place in Spain. Some of these brands are relatively unheard of in Cuba. Some aren’t even sold in Cuba.
Ultimatum Sancti Spiritus 1999 Cuban Rum. Ultimatum are a relatively new bottler. Most of their products are coming out of Dutch retailers so I assume they are based somewhere around there. Ultimatum Rum seems to be an off-shoot of the Little Distiller.
They have released a number of bottlings over the past year or so (I have a few more yet to review) and have received generally positive feedback for their efforts. The first thing they have been commended on is the price. They are very reasonably priced.
Santiago de Cuba 12 Anos Extra Anejo is rumoured to have been Fidel Castro’s favourite rum. Which is interesting. A lot of the reasons why researching Cuban rum can be so complex is down to him and his revolution!
Which is about as political as I am ever likely to get on this blog. Whether this was Castro’s favourite rum is an interesting aside but nothing more. I dare say if I was the President I would have wanted something more luxurious. Maybe he just liked this one the best.
Ron Vigia are a Cuban rum brand. After that it all gets a bit more complicated. Once again trying to research a Cuban Rum is difficult – to be honest at times it gets pretty annoying. Nevertheless I’ve done my best and tried to patch together the limited information I can get about this Communist Export.
Ron Caney Anejo Centuria – another Cuban rum I picked up in Spain. Which seems to be the place to go if you want lower to mid level Cuban rum. At a very reasonable price.
As with a lot of Cuban rums information is a little sketchy. Some information online seem to suggest this a blend of rums aged between 5 and 9 years. Other resources denote it being a 7 year old rum.
Kill Devil are and ever increasing range of Independently bottled rums from Whisky bottler Hunter Laing. Unsurprisingly perhaps Whisky based online retailers such as The Whisky Exchange and Master of Malt have been stocking their rums from the outset.
As a curious rum consumer and a lover of Independent bottlers I’ve found myself with a good few bottles and samples.
Ron Cubay in case anyone is any doubt, is a rum from Cuba. Cuban rum has become even hotter property recently as news that the US of A will soon be getting stocks of what, until very recently has been forbidden fruit for our friends over the pond.
Forget about the pointless rangling over the Havana Club brand by Havana Club and Bacardi International, as here we have one of the more domesticated Cuban rums.
