“Being Cuban and a bartender, I am proud of our strong, global reputation in rum making,” he enthused. “In the east side of the island, the ‘Cradle of Light Rum’, where RON SANTIAGO DE CUBA is produced, we craft the highest expression of the Cuban rum-making tradition. From the dedication of the Maestros del Ron Cubano, these rums embody the terroir, the history and expertise of the Cuban rum-making tradition,” he continued.

“I’m delighted and proud to be able to get back to my origins as RON SANTIAGO DE CUBA global brand ambassador – to educate and impassion about this amazing rum, its provenance in the Cradle of Light Rum, quality and the versatility of its range,” Mr Naranjo added.
