Already an American citizen can walk into a liquor store in Manhattan or Long Island to buy Premium Grand Havana Rum in spite of the United States "embargo" on the island. This spirit that truly conjures up the flavorful memories of Cuba is now enjoying the growth of the premium rum category.
Consumers seeking specialty boutique rum like fine cognacs can be surprised that Grand Havana Rum is one of the very few types of rum in the world that is still produced today as it was in the turn of the 19th century. The distillation process takes place in cooper kettles, not column distillation as most rum is produced now our days. This ensures that Grand Havana Rum is actually double distilled. Aging is also an exotic process since it is produced in charred sherry casks brought over from Spain, and that grants Grand Havana Rum a unique smoother silkier palate. The Arregui family is very much aware of the importance of quality control to guarantee a product faithful to the original formula, therefore each bottle is hand numbered according to batch number and recorded in distillery records. No artificial colorants are added. Last but not least, Grand Havana Rum is packaged in a beautiful canister simulating alligator skin, which makes it an elegant and very special gift for a special occasion.
Politics plays also an important role on this very special rum as in almost everything related to Cuba. Before the American liberation of Grenada, Castro had extremely close contact with the government of that island and exported the Cuban sugar cane Piajota 227 that now grows in the island. Thanks to that fact in the production of Grand Havana Rum are used molasses partially from Cuban sugar canes, precisely when the production of sugar is every year smaller in the biggest island of the Antilles, thus affecting the production of rum.
