Eminente Gran Reserva Edition N°1 is a distinguished Cuban rum crafted by blending 80% aguardiente—a Cuban molasses eau-de-vie—with light rum, each aged for a minimum of 10 years. This meticulous aging process imparts a rich, fruity profile complemented by a spicy finish, a characteristic enhanced by its final maturation in French oak barrels.


To fully appreciate its elegant and complex character, it's recommended to enjoy Eminente Gran Reserva Edition N°1 neat or over a large ice cube. Eminente Gran Reserva Edition N°1 exemplifies the brand's dedication to reviving traditional Cuban rum-making techniques, offering a sophisticated spirit that reflects the rich heritage and craftsmanship of Cuba.

About Eminente

Eminente is a distinguished Cuban rum brand that embodies the revival of 19th-century Cuban rum-making traditions. Founded in 2020, the brand was conceived by César Martí, Cuba's youngest Maestro Ronero (master rum distiller), who has been honored with the prestigious title of Primer Maestro del Ron Cubano.


Eminente's rums are crafted using a significant proportion of aguardiente, a Cuban molasses eau-de-vie, which imparts rich aromatic complexity. The flagship product, Eminente Reserva, is made with 70% aged aguardiente and is aged for a minimum of seven years in white oak ex-whisky barrels.


This process results in a rich, full-bodied rum that combines the aesthetics of traditional Cuban light rum with the depth and complexity of older spirits.
