Product Information

That's reignited a 20-year-old judicial battle over the ownership of the Havana Club brand claimed both by the Cuban state and by US giant Bacardi, which markets a product of that name in the US but using Puerto Rican rum. It will remain there until it has acquired it's dark color and fruity flavors, a process aided by Cuba's heat and humidity.

To demonstrate his point, Morales took a sample, poured it onto his hands and rubbed them together. Learning how to make a mojito in a famous historic hotel, is the best souvenir ever! Forget the gift shop. And, here is the drink they served us. This post has a lot of photos and travel notes toward the recipe card to share my travel adventure.Secondly, crush the mint stem. Not the mint leaves. Normally muddingresults in brown smashed mint leaves in the drink which is not pretty or tasty.

Sometimes paying a little more, sometimes taking a bit more time, demanding a more precise and profound planning." That was a drop of 40 percent in volume from 2017, but only nine percent in value due to a focus on more expensive, more elaborate products. The first secret to the best mojito recipes is to use aromatic bitters! It balances out the sweetness of the mint and sugar. The brand I prefer is Angostura, a product from the Caribbean islands that you can easily find online, and in stores US and globally.Havana Club has teamed up with high-end fashion brand Aries Arise to give birth to a cultural project supporting Joshua Gordon in the creation of a new art piece on the street scene of Cuba, accompanied by a capsule collection of merchandising to be launched on November 2019. Once approved, the rum is stored for years in American white oak barrels previously used for whiskey. Those difficulties, for example, come when a "provider tells us that he can't sell to us any more, (or) when a provider in some place tells us he has problems paying us with his bank." US sanctions against Cuba have made life tough for producers of the island's signature alcoholic drink, rum, but despite running a gauntlet of obstacles, they're still managing to survive.

All images are the result of Gordon’s immersion into the sub-culture of his subjects. The result is a raw but poetic series of portrait images shot on polaroid, super-8 and 35ml and a 22-minutes-long film. The embargo has been particularly harsh on Cuba's rum exports since "being excluded from 40 percent of the world market already has an impact on the brand, there's no doubt about it," said Valdes. The effects (of the sanctions) are numerous but the important thing is that Havana Club has had the wisdom ... to compensate for the possible negative impacts of those measures," said Valdes. In a modest distillery and bottle factory in San Jose, 30 kilometers to the southeast of the capital Havana, development director at the Franco-Cuban Havana Club International, Sergio Valdes proudly announces that the company produced 4.7 million cases (of nine liters each) of rum in the fiscal year 2018-19. The molasses -- the residue of crystalized sugar cane -- are distilled with modern technology to produce a liquor with more than 70 percent alcohol, "the soul, the heart of rum," according to specialist Asbel Morales.We have the most modern equipment that exists," but the task of identifying what makes Havana Club rum cannot be achieved through machines as "it's completely sensorial." President Miguel Diaz-Canel's government denies providing such support but refuses to abandon its ally. Conceived and produced by Aries in collaboration with Havana Club, “BUTTERFLY” is a photography project shot over a month around the drag and trans community of Havana, Cuba. Cuba has had much time to get used to the US embargo against the Caribbean island, which has been in place in one form or another since 1962. Such situations have arisen due to the sanctions imposed by Washington that have increased under President Donald Trump as punishment for Cuba allegedly providing military support to left-wing ally Venezuela.
