Mulata
Mulata Rum (Ron Mulata de Cuba) is a celebrated Cuban rum brand, produced primarily at the Santa Fe distillery, with additional production at renowned sites, such as Heriberto Duquesne in Villa Clara. The brand has become synonymous with quality and approachability in the world of Cuban spirits, earning a loyal following both locally and internationally.
Mulata is distilled from Cuban molasses using time-honored production methods: column still distillation, tropical aging in oak barrels, and meticulous blending. The result is a range of expressions that capture the classic Cuban style—smooth, versatile, and full of character.
Some key expressions include:
Mulata Añejo 5 Años — Aged for about 4–5 years in white oak barrels, this expression offers a balance of youthful brightness and subtle oak influence—ideal for sipping neat or in classic Cuban cocktails.
Mulata Añejo 7 Años — A richer, more developed rum, spending additional years in oak for a deeper, wood-driven profile. Expect complex layers of smoke, honey, and dried fruit, making it a favorite for enthusiasts seeking depth and smoothness.
Mulata Añejo 15 Años — The pinnacle of the lineup, this Grand Reserve is matured for up to 15 years, developing a dark amber hue and a remarkably soft, rounded palate. Its extended aging lends sophistication, richness, and a lingering finish—perfect for contemplative sipping.
Tasting Profile: Mulata’s aged rums typically showcase notes of caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, dark chocolate, marzipan, dried fruit, honey, and a whisper of smoke. Younger or lighter expressions display a golden color and a smoother, approachable character, making them equally enjoyable for sipping or mixing into cocktails.
