It represents an important part of our culture,\u201d said Asbel Morales, a master since 1993.<\/p>\n<p>The transmission includes protecting aging cellars, understanding their contents, characteristics, and the history of each barrel, plus knowing which mixtures result in which taste, appearance, texture, and beyond. It really is an art.<\/p>\n<p>Almost all masters have studied chemistry and had rigorous taste and smell training \u2013 in fact, a decade worth of training and practise is required in total to become a master rum maker.<\/p>\n<p>The UNESCO submission said, master rum makers know \u201cthe content and the history of every cask, cask rotations or repairs, and (know) which mixes produce certain aroma, colour, and body.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This acknowledgment highlights the development of an important industrial and economic piece of the island, with long-standing tradition and a representative of its sugar industry \u2013 from which the basis for spirits is extracted.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1797 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Picture1-5.jpg\" alt=\"Cuba\u2019s Knowledge of the Light Rum\" width=\"437\" height=\"275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Picture1-5.jpg 437w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Picture1-5-300x189.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 437px) 100vw, 437px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><strong>What is Light Rum?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Light rum, also known as white or silver rum, is made from molasses \u2013 a thick syrup that derives from sugar cane. The aging process ironically gives the spirit a darker colour, but most are aged for a minimal time frame or have their colour stripped out after the aging process. With a 40% alcohol content, light rum is widely used for making cocktails such as world-famous favourite Pina Colada \u2013 no wonder we all go dancing in the rain after a couple of sips!<\/p>\n<p>The island\u2019s very first light rum maker resided near the city of Santiago de Cuba around 1862. Since then, there has been uninterrupted transmission of the Cuban light rum masters\u2019 knowledge. Today, you can walk into a number of the Caribbean\u2019s local rum distilleries and find a skilled rum maker honing their craft. In fact, you can watch them as they work and sample the local tipple on many Cuban tours.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first of Cuba\u2019s recognised UNESCO-worthy accolades, with traditional songs and dances including the Tumba Francesca (French Drum), and Cuban Rumba listed as intangible heritage of humanity in 2008 and 2016 respectively.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1798 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Picture2-5.jpg\" alt=\"Cuba\u2019s Knowledge of the Light Rum\" width=\"1880\" height=\"1144\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Picture2-5.jpg 1880w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Picture2-5-300x183.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Picture2-5-1024x623.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Picture2-5-768x467.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Picture2-5-1536x935.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Picture2-5-750x456.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Picture2-5-1140x694.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1880px) 100vw, 1880px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Love Cuba<\/strong>\u00a0is the UK\u2019s leading\u00a0<strong>Cuba holiday specialist<\/strong>.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/\">Click here for more info<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/\"><strong>Cuba holidays<\/strong><\/a><strong>,<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/holiday-types\/multi-centre-cuba-holidays\"><strong>Multi Centre Cuba Holidays<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/holiday-types\/tailor-made-cuba-holidays\"><strong>Tailor Made Cuba Holidays<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0please don\u2019t hesitate to contact our friendly team of\u00a0<strong>Cuba holiday specialists<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a0<strong>0207 071 3636<\/strong>\u00a0or email\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:enquiries@lovecuba.com\"><strong>enquiries@lovecuba.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] What is The Knowledge of The Masters of Cuban Light Rum? \u2018The Knowledge of The Masters of Cuban Light Rum\u2019 is a set of traditional, scientific, sensory knowledge and techniques that ensure the safeguarding of the Cuban rum manufacturing process \u2013 and it has now officially been added to UNESCO\u2019s list of cultural heritage, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1800,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pgc_sgb_lightbox_settings":"","jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":{"subtitle":"","format":"standard","video":"","gallery":"","source_name":"","source_url":"","via_name":"","via_url":"","override_template":"0","override":[{"template":"1","single_blog_custom":"","parallax":"1","fullscreen":"1","layout":"right-sidebar","sidebar":"default-sidebar","second_sidebar":"default-sidebar","sticky_sidebar":"1","share_position":"top","share_float_style":"share-monocrhome","show_share_counter":"1","show_view_counter":"1","show_featured":"1","show_post_meta":"1","show_post_author":"1","show_post_author_image":"1","show_post_date":"1","post_date_format":"default","post_date_format_custom":"Y\/m\/d","show_post_category":"1","show_post_reading_time":"0","post_reading_time_wpm":"300","show_zoom_button":"0","zoom_button_out_step":"2","zoom_button_in_step":"3","show_post_tag":"1","show_prev_next_post":"1","show_popup_post":"1","number_popup_post":"1","show_author_box":"0","show_post_related":"0","show_inline_post_related":"0"}],"override_image_size":"0","image_override":[{"single_post_thumbnail_size":"crop-500","single_post_gallery_size":"crop-500"}],"trending_post":"0","trending_post_position":"meta","trending_post_label":"Trending","sponsored_post":"0","sponsored_post_label":"Sponsored by","sponsored_post_name":"","sponsored_post_url":"","sponsored_post_logo_enable":"0","sponsored_post_logo":"","sponsored_post_desc":""},"jnews_primary_category":{"id":""},"jnews_override_counter":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[152,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1796","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cocktails","category-food-drink"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
