Cuba - an island shaped like a crocodile, colloquially called by its inhabitants "Isla del Cocodrilo". The famous reptile from Cuba inspired the makers of Eminente and served as a natural inspiration for the design of the bottle, whose glass texture resembles crocodile skin.

The creator of Eminente rum is Cuba's youngest Maestro Ronero, who grew up surrounded by sugar cane fields in the province of Villa Clara in the center of the island - César Marti. As a result of his craftsmanship, César Martí, created a new style of Cuban rum for Eminente: drawing inspiration from 19th century Cuban rum, evoking its richness and depth of. What's more, César Martí has given this Cuban liquor a renewed complexity, mastering the art of aguardientes aging and blending. Called "the soul of Cuba," aguardientes are the most aromatic and complex sugarcane eaux-de-vie the island produces. Aguardiente is matured in white oak barrels used for whisky aging, blended and re-matured with traditional light Cuban rum distilled to 95% ABV. A blend of mature aguardientes and light rums creates the Cuban rum as we know it. Aguardiente brings complexity and depth of flavor, while light rum adds vitality through the strength of alcohol. Focusing on sophisticated aguardientes, Eminente sets new standards. Eminente Reserva is created with 70% mature aguardientes, the highest percentage among all Cuban rums.

Eminente Reserva is distilled by the column method and aged for seven years in a tropical climate in oak barrels that were previously used to age the whisky. In aroma it is both delicate and very distinct. It first draws attention with notes of freshly roasted coffee, which evolve into kajmak, roasted almonds and cocoa. Its taste is extremely deep, and its bouquet is rich with notes of vanilla, coffee and cane sugar.
