Conde de Cuba

The Origin

In the IX Century, rum became a quality and valued drink. Distilleries and brands emerged with the support of the Spanish crown. Cuba was the birthplace of rum.

Cuba also produces a lighter, crisper rum than elsewhere in the Caribbean thanks to a request from the Spanish Crown, which preferred its spirits delicate in flavor.

Conde de Cuba rum is harvested, distilled, aged and bottled in a little town with no more than 2.000 people from the province of Las Tunas, in Amancio Rodriguez, south east of Cuba, a land whose climate is ideal for the cultivation of the 100% autochthonous sugar cane “medialuna”.

The whole integral system is situated in the plantation, including the sugar company to obtain the honey, the distillery, the Ron Sevilla Factory and the cellar.

All this process is reflected on the different labels, letting this range of products become special.

The sugar plantation was located on the banks of the Sevilla River, one of the most important rivers in the country. Seville, the famous port city from south of Spain, has been always linked to Cuba since colonial times.

Conde de Cuba Francisco de Vives y Planes

Excellency Mr Francisco Dionisio Vives y Planes received the Title of Conde de Cuba by the King Fernando VII of Spain.

Other important tittles such as Captain General of the Republic or Knight of the Royal Grand Cross as well.

Sugar factory

To make Cuban Rum, the sugar cane is harvested and then squished to extract the juice or guarapo. Next, the juice is boiled to create molasses and sugar. The molasses are combined with water and yeast in tanks to ferment.

Distillery and Cellar

The resulting liquid, known as vino de caña, is
distilled in copper-lined columns. That resulting condensed liquid is called aguardiente, which is then placed into oaks barrels for aging.
