[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]For as long as we can remember, this golden-brown nectar has been a core part of Cuba\u2019s national identity. In addition to its expansive sugar cane industry (a crop that was originally introduced to the Americas by Christopher Columbus way back in the 1400s) and traditional cigars, rum has played a major role in fuelling the country\u2019s economy for centuries (since the mid 1600s to be exact). It was first established as a bi-product of molasses during sugar cane cultivation in the 1700s and 1800s, where it was utilised for both local consumption and exportation purposes, and to this day rum has remained an essential part of Cuban culture.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In honour of this sophisticated spirit, we\u2019ve rounded up everything you need to know about Cuban rum \u2013 including the best way to drink it and which brand holds the top spot…<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Havana Club is the most popular rum<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n

First sold in 1934 by one of the largest family-owned rum distilleries, Jos\u00e9 Arechabala S.A., the popularity of Havana Club continued to thrive after the company was nationalised in the 1960s (after the Cuban Revolution) and was soon to become a sought-after spirit that would successfully be sold abroad from the 1970s, onwards. Today, it stands as the fifth largest rum brand in the world and is the most popular rum produced in the whole of Cuba.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Impressive, right? Like many of the companies here, Havana Club is a partnership between the Cuban state company NAMA and French spirits distributor Pernod Ricard.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Visit Havana\u2019s Rum Museum<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n

It goes without saying that no trip to the capital is complete without sampling the city\u2019s finest spirit, which can be easily organised at the dedicated rum museum, Museo del Ron. Located in the heart of Old Havana, delve into Cuba\u2019s roots with an insightful guided tour, which walks you through the history of the island\u2019s culture, explains the rum distilling process via a series of scale models, and \u2013 the best part \u2013 welcomes visitors to sample a menu full of contemporary cocktails in the on-site bar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Wandering museums is thirsty work, after all!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Best Way To Drink Cuban Rum, is Neat<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n

We don\u2019t know about you, but whenever we visit somewhere new, we like to \u201cdo as the locals do\u201d \u2013 you know, for the full authentic experience. And in this case, it\u2019s drinking rum neat. Whilst rum cocktails are all the rage here (more on this shortly), this is actually the favourable way for Cubans to drink rum, especially if it\u2019s nicely aged. Whether you throw in a refreshing cube of ice or pair it with a hand-rolled cigar, connoisseurs are sure to be pleasantly surprised.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It\u2019s a Key Ingredient to the Most Delicious Cocktails<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n

As promised, it\u2019s time to explore the island\u2019s most popular cocktails, and, unsurprisingly, they all revolve around our star ingredient. Walk into popular haunts such as El Floridita and you\u2019ll find a list as long as your arm full of delicious tropical rum-based cocktails, the most popular including Mojitos, Daiquiri\u2019s (Earnest Hemingway\u2019s favourite) and Cuba Libre\u2019s \u2013 the country\u2019s signature cocktail!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To Make The Best Rum You\u2019ll Need Specific Climate Conditions<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n

There\u2019s good reason that many of the world\u2019s best rums are made in the Caribbean. The colour, flavour, aromatics, and characteristics of different rums depend greatly on where they are made, making each sample as unique as the next. Spanish and English rum are typically made from the molasses leftover from sugar cane grown on the island\u2019s plantations, which generally require a tropical climate that experiences 30-50 inches of rain over 8-10 months of the year! Very specific\u2026<\/p>\r\n\r\n
