Ron S.A. Ron Cubay Reserva Especial

Ron Cubay Reserva Especial comes from Cuba Ron S.A., a ten year old column still molasses rum matured in ex bourbon wood and bottled at 40%. It sits in the lighter Cuban tradition, and notably it is unsweetened, which gives it a more transparent, honest character than the softened end of the Spanish style.

The nose offers vanilla, oak, coffee and chocolate, the palate brings vanilla, roasted and caramelised notes over wood, and the finish turns dry with barrel, vanilla and tobacco. With no added sugar to round it off, the oak and the spirit set the tone, giving a classic Cuban profile that feels mature for its age. It is a solid, dependable rum, smooth enough to enjoy neat for those who like a drier, roasted style, and versatile enough to hold its own in a cocktail, an honest example of the unsweetened Cuban approach.
