Eminente de Cuba

Eminente is a new Cuban rum, made in the heart of an island that its inhabitants nickname "Isla del Cocodrilo", its unusual shape evoking that of its endemic crocodile. Imagined by César Martí, younger Maestro Ronero (Master Rum Maker), Eminente is a rich and structured rum drawing its inspiration from the Cuban cane eaux-de-vie of the nineteenth century, characterized by their aromatic complexity.

Discover the captivating world of Eminente, the Cuban rum brand that's making waves. With several sumptuous creations to its name, such as the Reserva 7 years and the Gran Reserva 10 years, as well as the luxurious ephemeral hotel Hôtel Eminente and more recently Casa Eminente, a Cuban-flavored restaurant and bar, there's much to explore.

The birth of a marvel: Eminente

At the heart of this fabulous journey lies Eminente, a Cuban rum whose fame continues to grow over the years. Every drop of this divinely created beverage is a tribute to authentic Cuban tradition, blending contemporary craftsmanship with age-old family heritage. The exceptional quality of Eminente comes from the undeniable talent of its maestros roneros, who are the guardians of a refined recipe imbued with passion.

The unique manufacturing process of Eminente

Eminente derives its incomparable flavor from the way it is produced. The key ingredients of this rum, such as molasses and yeast, are carefully selected for their local provenance and freshness. Then, the fermentation process relies on the ancient Cuban "aguardiente" method, which allows the rum to develop its delicately full-bodied aromas.

The "cubanito" method, implemented by the maestros roneros, is another essential step in bringing Eminente to life. This process involves blending several eaux-de-vie from the best barrels and aging them for a precise period in oak barrels that previously housed bourbon or whiskey. This confers on the rum a unique aromatic complexity characteristic of the brand.

Reserva 7 years: The finesse of a young and fruity rum

The first of these two flagship products is the Reserva 7 years, a relatively young rum but bursting with flavors and exotic aromas. Its dominant notes include sweet citrus, tropical fruits, a touch of honey, and a slight spicy note. Despite its age, this reserva offers a surprising complexity that will delight lovers of traditional Cuban rums.

Tasting the Reserva 7 years

To fully enjoy this remarkable rum, it is recommended to taste it neat, natural or on ice. Connoisseurs can also use it as a base for creating famous Cuban cocktails such as the mojito or daiquiri. Whichever way you choose to sip your Reserva 7 years, you will be assured of appreciating the superior quality of this exceptional rum.

Gran Reserva 10 years: The ultimate expression of Cuban craftsmanship

The Gran Reserva 10 years is undoubtedly the pinnacle of Cuban expertise in rum-making. With unmatched richness and complexity, this ten-year-old reserve captivates the senses with its woody fragrances, vanilla touch, and overall smoothness. The slight spicy nuance that tickles the palate adds to the whole to create an unforgettable tasting experience.

Tasting the Gran Reserva 10 years

To fully appreciate all the nuances of the Gran Reserva 10 years, it is recommended to taste it slowly, like a fine cognac or premium whiskey. You can also enhance this unique flavor by preparing a classic "old fashioned" cocktail or a luxurious hot chocolate rich in aromas.

Limited Edition Excellence Rhum

We had the unique honor of exploring the cellars of Eminente, which allowed us to make an exclusive selection in collaboration with the Confrérie du Rhum. This exploration gave birth to the first vintage rum of Cuba, titrating at a degree higher than that imposed by the Cuban DOP, namely 42%. Our selection reaches 55%, thus approaching the highly coveted category of cask strength rums. This edition consists of 4 barrels, resulting from the blending of 2 extremely limited cuvées. Unfortunately, this cuvée has become very rare and now enters the history of Cuban rum as an exceptional collector's item.
