Ron Cueva 1501 – 33 Solera is an exceptional rum from Panama, created as a tribute to the Cueva tribe, one of the country's earliest indigenous peoples. The tribe was first encountered by Spanish explorers in 1501 but tragically disappeared in 1535 due to war and disease. With this rum, their legacy is brought back to life—not just as a tasting experience, but as a cultural monument. The producer behind Ron Cueva actively supports indigenous communities in Panama today through social projects, giving the rum a deeper meaning.
Ron Cueva 33 is a blend of carefully selected rums, aged for up to 33 years using the traditional Sistema Solera method. It is one of the oldest solera rums on the market and appeals to those seeking depth, complexity, and origin in their glass.
The color is deep amber with aged mahogany reflections—a visual sign of long maturation and intensity.
The aroma is powerful and complex with notes of tar, dark fruits, dates, figs, polished leather, honey-glazed pineapple, nougat, and chocolate. The taste is silky and rich with sweet molasses, port-infused cigarillo, raisins, ripe cherries, figs, and spices, rounded off with a final touch of caramel and tropical fruit.
Ron Cueva 1501 – 33 Solera is not just a rum, but a journey through Panama’s history, nature, and craftsmanship. A rum for those who want to taste time.
