Ron S.A. Ron Cubay Añejo Suave

Ron Cubay Anejo Suave comes from Cuba Ron, an aged sibling to the house's white, sitting in the gentle, everyday register of the Cuban style. It is the kind of soft, typical Cuban rum that suits unhurried evenings and easy company more than close analysis.

Distilled from molasses on a column still in the island's ron ligero tradition, it shows woody and spicy notes with a sherried lift and a hint of dried fruit, kept light and approachable throughout. There is a rounded sweetness to it, in keeping with the smooth Spanish style, and the modest strength makes it an easy, low-key pour neat or over ice. It will not challenge anyone chasing power or dryness, but as a relaxed, characterful Cuban for sipping among friends it does its job warmly and well.
