House of Rum 16 Year Old 2010 Cuban Rum - 43% 70cl

THE DEVIL TAKES HIS, THE REST WE SHARE.

The high heat increases the amount of liquid that evaporates during maturation. Known as the Angel’s share across Europe, it is called the Devil’s share in the Tropics, probably because such strong evaporation, about 8 or 9% per year, is very expensive for producers. That is why you can find El Diablo on each of our bottles.

Single Cask Rum from Cuba is incredibly hard to find so we were very pleased (and surprised) to have sourced Cask number #2617 from the Ron Cubay distillery known as "The Pearl of Cuban Rums" it is located in Villa Clara in the heart of Cuba.

A symbol of Cuban rum excellence, combining tradition, quality, and cultural significance. Distilled in a Column still from Cuban Molasses, then placed into an American white oak cask for 6 years tropical ageing in Cuba until November 2016, before being shipped to the UK, where it was re-casked into a different American Oak ex-bourbon cask and continentally aged for a further 10 years.

This single cask bottling from 2026 yielded just 253 bottles capturing the essence and passion of traditional rum making in Cuba.

Nose: An inviting nose of vanilla fudge, dark toffee and warming pepper spice.

Palate: Naturally sweet in Character, there are multiple layers of citrus fruits, maybe even apple and chocolate. Toasted oak and soft tobacco unfold across the palate, delivering depth and balance with a smooth, rounded mouthfeel.

Finish: The finish is long and lingering, leaving waves of sweet vanilla, gentle spice and mellow oak.
