RUM TRADITION
FAMILY ORIGINS AND HISTORY:
It all began with the arrival of Mallorca born officer Juanillo Oliver to Cuba who, once completed his military service, decided to settle on the island.
There he began the development of a prosperous tobacco and sugar cane Hacienda. He would later veer towards the traditional rum making art which gave his family renown and fortune. As a result of the Cuban revolution, in 1959 part of the family would move away from the island.
Pedro Ramón Oliver, from the newer generations of the Oliver family, returned to Cuba in the 1980s and recovered some of the old records and family documents. The original Oliver rum making formula, which gave the family much of its renown in the 19th century, was found among them.
It was this discovery which encouraged him to reclaim rum making in the early 1990s. This time he chose the Dominican Republic for the rebirth of Oliver’s famous rums, due to the similar climate conditions with Cuba.
Today Oliver & Oliver is without a doubt one of the world’s best rum makers. With their own signature style, they blend the original family formulas with the most modern and elegant out of the Dominican Republic. Oliver rums are distinguished by their high quality, aroma and flavor. Excellent rum, aged in Bourbon, Sherry, Tequila, Cognac, Malt Whisky and Porto oak barrels of American and French origin. With marked mother rum highlights and malt, vanilla, figs and nuts nuances.
RUM MAKING PROCESS:
Contrabando aged rum’s quality is far superior to its natural competition due to its 5 year long aging process in American and French oak barrels which previously contained Cognac, Bourbon and Sherry.
Winner of the 5-year-old rum class maximum award, a double gold medal, at Madrid’s Second International Rum Congress of 2014.
Winner of the first prize in the international packaging contest at the Top Fedrigoni Awards of 2013.
TASTING NOTES:
A gentle vanilla aroma comes to mind. Notes of fresh coconut and tropical fruits come in perfect assembly with the roasted and balsamic touches of the prolonged Solera aging process in American and French oak casks.
