a very interesting story about this rum! And everyone knows how much we at SWA love history.
During the 1700s Spain had established a fully functional trade route between Spain, Cuba and Mexico. A high quality product from Spain were often shipped to Mexico and Cuba to sell. Yes sweet wine! And during one of the shipping the crew drank a little bit to much and depleted a high portion of the wine. To recover the lost of money they filled the empty casks with Mexican rum and planned on selling it on their return to Spain. And it was so successful that it ended up banned from both trades and consumption.
That must have been some cracking rum! This is a recreation of the rum art
