Eminente Reserva Rum 0,7L 41,3%

Eminente Reserva is a Cuban rum with a rich and full-bodied character that combines the appearance of a traditional, smooth Cuban rum with the depth and complexity of older styles. It was created as a vision of César Martí, the youngest rum master in Cuban history, who sought to revive the richer and more aromatic Cuban rums of the 19th century. The result is a rum from the heart of the island nicknamed Isla del Cocodrilo, offering a distinctive yet elegant flavor profile.

Characteristics:

The foundation is a high proportion of 70% aguardiente, an aromatic Cuban molasses distillate that gives the rum depth and character. Eminente Reserva is aged for at least 7 years in white oak whiskey barrels, which gives it smoothness, balance, and a wide range of flavors. In the glass, it captivates with its delicate amber color with mahogany undertones.

About Eminente:

Eminente is a Cuban rum brand inspired by the wild and authentic face of the island, which locals call “Isla del Cocodrilo”—Crocodile Island. It is precisely this part of Cuba and its untamed character that the brand draws upon, not only through its story but also through the bottle’s design, whose texture and silhouette on the label reference the Cuban crocodile. Eminente focuses on rums with greater complexity, drawing inspiration from 19th-century Cuban rums.

Behind their style stands César Martí, one of Cuba’s most renowned rum masters, who became the country’s youngest Maestro Ronero and later earned the title of Primer Maestro. The brand relies on a high proportion of aguardiente, an aromatic Cuban molasses distillate, which gives Eminente rums a deeper, richer, and more layered character. Eminente thus represents a modern tribute to the traditional Cuban rum-making craft, nature, and the unique identity of Cuba.
