Eminente Reserva 7 Year Old marries classic Cuban elegance with unexpected depth—tropically matured in white-oak ex-whisky casks for roasted-coffee richness, cacao warmth and a subtle, peppery lift. Refined for sipping, impressive for gifting.
Tasting Notes & Experience
Freshly ground coffee, dulce de leche, toasted almond and cocoa on the nose. A poised palate of vanilla, cane sugar, soft smoke, ginger and prune. Long, layered finish with chocolate, molasses, coffee, almond and a hint of pear.

Craftsmanship & Story
