Santiago de Cuba 12 Year Old
A classic Cuban aged rum
Santiago de Cuba 12 Year Old (Añejo 12 Años) shows the traditional character of rum from eastern Cuba. It is fuller and more layered than the lighter, white-rum style Cuba is often associated with. Long maturation in oak gives it depth, and it is easy to sip neat.
From Santiago de Cuba
The rum takes its name from Santiago de Cuba, a city with a long rum-making tradition. The distillery's roots go back to the 19th century, and it remains one of the best-known producers of Cuban aged rum. If you enjoy dark, rounded rums, this is an expression worth knowing.
