Cuban rum, finished in Sauternes barrels
Pacto Navio is a blend of up to 10 aged rum bases, made from Cuban sugarcane molasses, distilled and aged at the San José distillery near Havana. A partial finish of this blend is made in Sauternes casks, giving Pacto Navio its unique taste signature. This rum is the result of the expertise of the Maestros del Ron Cubano*, combined with a Cuban climate conducive to the production of the world’s finest rums. Intense in its complexity, Pacto Navio gets its roundness from the bases that make up its blend, and from its partial aging in sweet wine casks.
Pacto Navio can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks.
