“Amazing chocolate and sherry notes, rich and smooth Cuban experience.””

The "Legend of Cuban Rum Pre-1962" by Valdespino offers a rich and elegant experience, distilled from molasses in 1944. Its aroma is a delightful blend of almond, buttery notes, floral hints, dried fruit, and cedar. On the palate, it reveals harmonious flavors of brown sugar, wood, and dried fruit, combined with a creamy and round mouthfeel. This vintage Cuban rum, aged gracefully in Spanish bodegas, avoids becoming overly sherried while adding complexity. Users appreciate it for its smoothness, balanced sweetness, and intense chocolatey undertones. Its mild yet robust character makes it perfect for both sipping and enhancing desserts, embodying a liquid piece of Cuban history.

“A piece of rum history!It has the typicality of all Cuban rums, smooth and elegant and enveloping, with a higher intensity than others of its kind.In my opinion, however, for the price at which it is found today, it lacks aromatic complexity and power.There are many other rums less expensive than this one that have an edge!”

“Another slightly old tasting but I have more notes on it. The nose is sweet and balanced with wood and nuts and a lovely floral note. The palate is very sweet, oily and round with smoky wood, dried fruit, brown sugar and a hint of marzipan at the end. The finish is medium long with smoky wood, dried fruit and brown sugar. Pretty sweet and definitely an good rum for cakes etc.”
