Eminente Reserva is distilled using the column method and aged in a tropical environment for seven years in white oak barrels previously used to age whisky. Made with 70% of aged aguardientes, the highest proportions among all Cuban Rums, making it a rum that has the aesthetics of a traditional light Cuban rum, with all the complexity and depth of a very old one. Eminente is one of only a handful of Cuban rums to be given the coveted ‘Denominación de Origen Protegida’ status. Granted by a Regulatory Council, the D.O.P. Ron de Cuba dictates strict rules which ensure the authenticity and high standards of Cuban Rum.
