A Rum from the Dominican Republic that just might be their best of the year.
Juanillo Oliver came to Cuba as a member of the Spanish military in the mid-1800s. After his tour of duty ended, he stayed to work in the Rum industry to found Oliver and Oliver. In Cuba’s second war for independence, the plantation and distillery were destroyed. But a century later his great-great-grandson re-founded the family business — this time in the Dominican Republic. To this day they make some of the most sought-after Rums for consumers all over the world. Today they offer a wide variety of Rum brands, mixers, and specialty Liqueurs.
One of Oliver and Oliver’s well-known brands is Ron Cubaney. Cubaney Ron Tesero Grand Reserve just might be the top Rum coming from any Oliver and Oliver brand at the moment (but their offers are so numerous we reserve the right to change our minds on this). Importantly, this particular Rum is Solera-aged up to twenty-five years — justifying the “XO” at the bottom of the label. And holy mackerel… this stuff is good. It’s lightly sweet, with not a trace of bitterness and a rich, super-complex palate. Please sir… we want so more!
