Fraternity Spirits World brings prohibited Rum to Cannes


Fraternity Spirits World is pleased to announce it will be highlighting its prohibited Rum; Marques De Cuba Habanero Rum, at this years TFWA World Exhibition (Blue Village E1).



By the year 1700, Spanish ships were arriving in the New World colonies loaded with products from Spain. One popular product was sweet wine stored in barrels, which were later emptied after use. These empty barrels were filled with Chinguirito, which is rum that was produced in Mexico, and shipped back to Spain.

As the rum aged in the sweet wine barrels during the trip back to Spain, it absorbed wood flavours and aroma from the sweet wine barrels, which gave it very special characteristics. The resulting rum became very popular in Spain, which local producers saw as a threat to sales of their existing products. Consequently, the King of Spain prohibited the production of this rum in the New World. Chinguirito was also known as Habanero because the last stop on the way back to Spain from the New World was Habana, Cuba.

Now, Fraternity Spirits World is revitalising this very special rum and making it available to travel retail globally.
