Santísima Trinidad is made with aguardiente, like all Cuban rums. This gives the island's rum a more aggressive character than that of other latitudes where aguardiente is not added to the blend.

However, Santísima Trinidad is different from all of them. Its brandy is of exceptional quality. It comes from selected molasses and also undergoes a long aging and purification process. This gives the rum a more delicate and subtle organoleptic profile. That is why Santísima Trinidad is said to be the first smooth Cuban rum.
