Ron Cristobal Blanco White Rum Dominican Republic Rum 70 cl 38%

Christopher Columbus gave the island its Spanish name and unwittingly lent his own name to an entire rum series – Ron Cristóbal is named after the explorer himself.

Expert Description

Ron Cristobal Blanco is a Dominican Rum made from fresh sugarcane juice and bottled at 38%.

The rum comes from Alcoholes Finos Dominicanos, the same producer behind Ron Esclavo, and is a pure Dominican product from field to bottle – the sugarcane is grown, distilled and matured in the country. The Blanco edition is the series' clear, unfiltered starting point, made to showcase the sugarcane's pure character rather than long cask maturation.
