Havana Club
In the heart of Old Havana, in the historic Plaza de la Catedral, the Havana Club Bar was born in 1935, one of the symbolic places of Cuban tradition. Here, bartenders began to use a rum that would become legendary: Havana Club. Initially produced by the renowned rum company Arechabala in Cárdenas, this exceptional distillate encapsulates 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 Eastern European markets, thanks to the island's political ties with socialist countries. However, the major international leap occurred in 1993, when the Cuban government signed a joint venture with the French multinational Pernod Ricard. This marked the beginning of a new era for Havana Club, transforming 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 in the world for its quality, versatility, and strong connection to Cuban culture. Used by the best 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 enjoy it neat or on the rocks.
