    Some drinks insist on being pure rum. Legendario Elixir de Cuba does the opposite, making no secret of being something entirely its own.

    Expert description

    Legendario Elixir de Cuba 7 Year is a Spirit Drink based on Cuban rum matured up to 7 years, blended with raisin extract and bottled at 34%.

    The elixir is made by Legendario, a Cuban house founded in 1946, by blending cask-matured rum with an extract of grapes and raisins. Because Cuban law only permits up to 20 grams of added sugar per litre for a spirit to be called rum, this drink correctly falls into the Spirit Drink category instead, with a thicker, more dessert-like style than classic rum. The result is a sweet, easy-drinking bottle that is simple to enjoy both neat and in simple mixes.

    Did you know?

    The label "Elixir" on Cuban bottles is not random, it is the legally required category for rum-based drinks exceeding 20 grams of added sugar per litre, which makes Legendario Elixir de Cuba a legally distinct drink from the house's more classic rums.

About Legendario Rom

Legendario is distilled in Cuba and offers a range covering most needs, from the fresh, dry Blanco to the sweeter, caramel-like Elixir de Cuba. That makes the series a natural starting point for exploring the many facets of Cuban rum, from the lightest to the most aged style.

History & Background

Legendario builds on the long Cuban rum tradition, where different ages and styles have historically each had their role, from the light Blanco for mixing to the more contemplative, older Añejo for sipping. By gathering several of these styles under one brand, Legendario has created an accessible entry into the broad Cuban rum category.

Production & Style

The rum is distilled in column stills following Cuban tradition, where the Blanco expression is filtered for purity, while Elixir de Cuba is sweetened and aged seven years for a deeper, more caramel-like character.
