What Rum! It is certainly not for all budgets, and it is certainly a high class Rum. The finest and oldest reserves of Cuban Rum come together to give life to a sip that represents the supreme expression of the most famous distillate in the Caribbean. Even the bottle, the work of master glassmaker Paul Miller, is a work of art, so the image of Ghirardilla, the Havana Club brand and symbol of the city of Havana, has been engraved on the stopper of each decanter. It is a rum to be sipped drop by drop. It is a simply wonderful Rum: lucky those who can afford it...!

The Distillery: It is also known as the "Island of Rum", or as the land where the best sugar cane, the ideal Caribbean climate, and the skill of the "Maestros Roneros", come together to create spirits unique in the world. Cuba can be considered as the homeland of origin of Rum, initially born as a drink obtained from the fermentation of sugar cane, then in the 19th century it became the Rum we know today, thanks to the introduction of copper stills, and also thanks to intuition of Pedro Diago, who first had the idea of letting the distillate age using underground earthenware jars. Over time, then, Rum became increasingly refined, and began to become increasingly widespread, particularly when it began to be consumed within royal and noble courts. In 1860 the popularity of rum produced in Cuba reached such high levels that the island had come to count well over a thousand distilleries. Today, if there is a brand that symbolizes the best Cuban rum in the world, this brand is undoubtedly "Havana Club", the most drunk spirit on the Caribbean island, capable of embodying the most ancient Cuban traditions like no other. of Rum production. Relying on the experience, skills and knowledge of the best "Maestros Roneros", Havana Club, perhaps more than any other distillery, deserves credit for having preserved the art of producing and aging what can be considered without means terms like the best Rums in the world. And in all this there are not many secrets, but rather the method and rigor are the factors that lead to obtaining excellent spirits. Starting from the selection of the best raw materials, we move on to the distillation process, and then arrive at the aging phase, during which mixing and blending are carried out.
