Eminente's 10-Year-Old Gran Reserva is a fine Cuban rum with deep toasted notes.
Eminente's 10-Year-Old Gran Reserva has a deep amber color tending towards brown.
The broad and rich aromatic spectrum evokes sensations of red fruits, honey, and flowers, enriched with balsamic notes and complex hints of vanilla, roasted coffee, and caramel.
The soul of the Eminente distillery is César Martí, who in 2009 became Cuba's youngest Maestro Ronero, a title currently awarded to only 10 people on the island.
The symbol of the Eminente brand is an illustration of the island of Cuba depicted as a crocodile, a tribute to its nickname, "Isla del Cocodrilo" (Cocodrilo Island).
The Eminente 10-Year Gran Reserva Ron is produced from a base of 80% premium sugarcane molasses spirit, distilled to 75% alcohol by volume and aged for 10 long years in wooden barrels. After this lengthy process, the aguardiente is combined with 20% "light rum," also aged for 10 long years, and the blend is then refined for three months in small French oak ex-Sauterne barrels before final bottling.
In a spirit of sustainability and due to the ongoing embargo, the bottle is produced in Mexico, the closest glass-producing country to Cuba, to limit carbon dioxide emissions.
Furthermore, the label is made from textile industry waste, while the cap is made from sustainable cork and wood.
The beautiful green and gold Eminente rum box, designed by the master designers at LVHM, is the perfect gift for rum enthusiasts.
Eminente 10-Year-Old Cuban Rum Gran Reserva embodies the Cuban style of rum, or rather ron, which has always been divided into two schools.
The Western style is rough, dry, and perfect for cocktails.
The Eastern style is more focused on tasting, rounded, and fruity.
But in the central region of Cuba, a style little known outside of Cuba is used, which manages to combine the two sides of the spirit: robust yet refreshing, rounded yet complex.
