Rhum Eminente Reserva 7 ans

In collaboration with César Martí, the esteemed Maestro Ronero of Cuba Ron, French spirits company Moët Hennessy has developed Eminente Reserva rum.

The blend combines 75% aguardiente, already matured for two years in whisky casks, with 95% sugar cane molasses distillate. The resulting blend is stored for a total of seven years before being enriched with a little sugar and colouring and brought to its final strength.for a Cuban rum to carry the protected designation of origin, it must contain at least 8% added aguardiente, a distillate of fresh sugar cane juice.

César Martí, meanwhile, has opted for an unusually high aguardiente content of 70%.Martí himself is something of a legend in his own country, being Cuba's youngest Maestro Ronero after winning the title in 2009. With the luxurious Rum Eminente Reserva, he wants to take Cuban rum to a new level in the world. The design of the bottle is inspired by Cuba's nickname 'Isla del Cocodrilo'.
