Rum is a distilled alcoholic drink made from sugarcane by products, such as molasses, or directly from sugarcane juice, by a process of fermentation and distillation. The distillate, a clear liquid, is then usually aged in oak barrels.
The majority of the world’s rum production occurs in the Caribbean and Latin America. Rum is also produced in Australia, Portugal, Austria, Canada, Fiji, India, Japan, Mauritius, Nepal, New Zealand, the Philippines, Reunion Island, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Rums are produced in various grades. Light rums are commonly used in cocktails, whereas “golden” and “dark” rums were typically consumed straight or neat, on the rocks, or used for cooking, but are now commonly consumed with mixers. Premium rums are also available, made to be consumed either straight or iced.

One of the best drinks to pair with a cigar is rum. For this reason, we’ve worked for a long time to achieve a rum that would go perfectly with all the cigars. And we found it. For those who haven’t tried yet, it’s called E. León Jimenes 110 Aniversario. Precisely, we launched it to celebrate our 110thanniversary.
What makes it so special? This is a rum with 10 years of aging, which makes it the perfect match for cigar lovers. Produced at Barceló rum facilities for our company, this is a tasty and complex rum: sweet, spicy, and floral notes that bring out the best notes of premium cigars.
Specifically, this rum remains for the first eight years in virgin American white oak barrels, which provide most of its flavor. For the last two years it’s aged in French oak barrels, which give it homogeneity and fulness. And so, it becomes the “nectar of the gods,” as defined by La Aurora’s master blender, Manuel Inoa.

Eminente Reserva 7 Year Old is a particularly snazzy Cuban rum, made with 100% Cuban sugar cane.
