During the 17th century, Spanish ships reached Mexico with barrels
of sweet raisin wine. Instead of going back empty, these barrels
were filled with Mexican rum known as “Chinguirito.” The long
voyage back did miraculous things to the rum. As it journeyed
back to Spain (after stopping in Habana, Cuba) the barrels infused
the Chinguirito with aromatic and complex notes that delivered
a rum so good, it quickly out sold other rums in Spain. Known
as habanero rum because of its pass through Habana, Cuba, it
became so popular that it threatened the Spanish liquor economy
causing the King of Spain, Felipe V De Borbón, to declare it
prohibited. Its production in the New World was considered a
criminal act for nearly a century. El Ron Prohibido is now making its
much anticipated return. Try the deliciously exotic rum that can’t
be compared to other dark rums. Called Habanero for its history
not for is heat.
El Ron Prohibido is forbidden no longer. Ron Prohibido is a
premium, artisan rum produced under 12 & 15 year solera systems
in the 18th century tradition from when the Spanish ships would
bring back Mexican rum in fortified wine barrels. Its truly distinctive
taste, sweet and sour, is acquired through the combination of
different blended rums aged in used raisin wine barrels. Prohibited
during the reign of the King of Spain Felipe V De Borbon, this
alcohol beverage known as Chinguirito or Habanero returns with
Ron Prohibido.
El Ron Prohibido, is a Mexican rum which is made of a blend of
rums of different ages, blended with used raisin wine barrels - an
intriguing choice that pays off with distinctive bitter-sweet notes
and a thick, luxurious mouthfeel.
