Conde De Cuba Reserva Especial

The Spirit of Cuba, Beautifully Balanced

Reserva Especial is the successor to the eleven-year-old expression from Conde de Cuba, and while the blending approach differs slightly, the result is remarkably similar in character: a beautifully balanced combination of the spirit of Conde de Cuba with the warmth of local fruit and spices.

Conde de Cuba is an artisanal rum produced by Destilería Sevilla — a small estate founded in 1942 in Amancio Rodríguez, in the province of Las Tunas, Cuba. The name honours Francisco Dionisio Vives y Planes, appointed Count of Cuba by the Spanish King Ferdinand VII. The rum is distilled entirely from Cuban sugarcane molasses (Mediluna) in a copper-lined column still, and all production — from crop to bottling — takes place on the estate, situated on the banks of the Seville River.

Tasting notes: Amber in colour. The nose offers rich aromas of caramel, sugarcane, and oak with sweet fruitiness of orange and dried cherries. On the palate, initially pronounced notes of nuts, followed by a return of the rich fruitiness from the nose. The finish is long and beautifully balanced between fruity notes and the power of the spirit.
