Havana Club
In the heart of Old Havana, in the historic Plaza de la Catedral, the Havana Club Bar was founded in 1935, one of the symbolic places of Cuban tradition. Here, bartenders began using a rum that would become legendary: Havana Club. Initially produced by the renowned Arechabala rum company in Cárdenas, this excellent distilled spirit embodies the authentic spirit of Cuba.
After the 1959 revolution, the company was nationalized by the Cuban government, but the production of Havana Club continued, becoming a flagbearer of national heritage. Over the following decades, the brand made its way into the Eastern European markets, thanks to the island's political ties with socialist countries. The major international breakthrough came in 1993 when the Cuban government signed a joint venture with the French multinational Pernod Ricard. This marked the new era of Havana Club, transforming it from a local rum into a global phenomenon.
Today, Havana Club is the best-selling golden rum in Europe and is one of the most appreciated brands worldwide for its quality, versatility, and strong connection to Cuban culture. Used by top bartenders in iconic cocktails like Mojito, Daiquiri, and Cuba Libre, it has become an indispensable ingredient in the trendiest venues, as well as a perfect companion for those who love to enjoy it neat or on the rocks.
