Identity

Eminente is an exceptional Cuban rum from the heart of an island locals call  ‘Isla del Cocodrilo’, evoking its unusual shape, resembling the native crocodile.

Conceived by César Martí, Cuba’s youngest Maestro Ronero, or master rum distiller, Eminente is a rich and full-bodied rum inspired by 19th-century Cuban sugarcane aguardientes, eaux-de-vie  renowned for their aromatic complexity.

Cuban rum as we know it is a blend of aged aguardientes (Cuban sugarcane eaux-de-vie) and light rums. The aguardientes bring complexity and depth of aromas, while the light rum adds vitality thanks to the strength of the alcohol.

Elevating these refined aguardientes, Eminente proposes a rum made with a minimum of 70% aguardientes, the highest proportion of any Cuban rum.

Icon

Ideal for sipping on its own, over a large ice cube or in cocktails, Eminente Reserva possesses the aesthetics of a traditional Cuban light rum but with the complexity and depth of a very old one. Eminente Reserva is at once intense and delicate on the nose. Full-bodied and incredibly deep, the palate is rich with vanilla and smoky notes, coffee and raspadura which is the taste of unrefined sugar cane.
