Eminente Unveils Exquisite 10-Year-Old Rum: Gran Reserva Edition N°1

Cuba’s distinguished rum producer, Eminente, has gracefully unveiled a remarkable addition to its illustrious collection – a resplendent 10-year-old rum named Gran Reserva Edition N°1.

Orchestrated by the gifted hands and imaginative mind of César Martí, Cuba’s most youthful maestro ronero, this elegant concoction presents a symphony of maturity and nuanced flavors. The extraordinary Gran Reserva Edition N°1 navigated through a decade of meticulous aging, embracing a rich narrative within its depths.

Martí’s ingenuity illuminated the rum’s journey. He curated a selection of aguardientes to slumber in the embrace of white oak barrels, where whispers of whisky lingered. These vessels of heritage played a crucial role in the rum’s formation, inviting it to blossom and unfold its tales woven from molasses distilled with utmost precision.

The rum’s saga continued with an infusion of light Cuban rum’s spirit, subtly intertwining with the aged aguardientes, allowing their essences to dance and merge in a ballet of maturation. A resting period in the gentle hold of French oak barrels bestowed the final brush strokes of grace, leaving the rum bathed in character and aura.

In its final presentation, Gran Reserva Edition N°1 boasts an ABV of 43.5%, a distinguished presence that gracefully rises above the conventional expressions of Cuban rums. The rum narrates a story steeped in a blend of artistic intuition and scientific mastery, culminating in a potion that epitomizes the soul of Cuba.

Savorers of this luxurious spirit will journey through gardens of floral subtleties and wander through forests of robust woodiness. Notes of vibrant orange blossom interplay with the grounded wisdom of sandalwood, while echoes of roasted coffee romance the sweet allure of honey and vanilla. A melody of dried apricot and orange blossom waltz through the palate, leaving a trail of exquisite taste narratives.

A closing verse graced by the exotic nature of Sichuan pepper leads the taste odyssey to a finale adorned with whispers of caramel, the mystical touch of pine sap, and the opulence of saffron.

Eminente’s vision, articulated by Camille de Dominicis, aims to offer a canvas where the brilliance and craftsmanship of César Martí can flourish, embodying the essence and marvel of Cuban rum in each meticulously crafted drop.

Gran Reserva Edition N°1, a gem that reverberates with depth and tradition, is poised to enchant rum enthusiasts, either kissed by the simplicity of neat savoring or caressed by the chill of an ice cube. Available for acquisition online and in selected prestigious locales in the UK, it awaits to unfold its tales for £75 (US$91).

The Eminente legacy already cradles expressions such as the Eminente Amber Claro and the Eminente Reserve, each a bearer of stories, tradition, and the exquisite artistry emblematic of the Eminente name.
