Ron Cubay Carta Blanca Extra Anejo Cuba Rum 40%

The same company behind Havana Club also makes this lesser-known brand, which for decades was sold only in the Cuban domestic market.

Expert description

Ron Cubay Carta Blanca Extra Anejo is a Rum from Cuba, matured 3 years in North American oak casks and bottled at 40%.

The rum is produced by Cuba Ron S.A. in Santo Domingo, Villa Clara, in the centre of Cuba, the same company behind world-famous Havana Club. The brand was established in 1964, but was originally intended solely for the Cuban domestic market and has only recently, around 2010, found its way to export. Carta Blanca combines the richness of long-aged dark rums with the freshness of Cuba's classic white rum style in a single bottle.
