The Forbidden Rum, a premium rum from Mexico, is the result of a 12-year aging process using the traditional Solera method. This technique combines a variety of rums, creating a unique blend of flavors and aromas. Legend has it that in the 18th century, Spanish ships carried sweet wine in barrels to America. On the way back, they filled those barrels with Mexican rum called Chinguirito, which absorbed the characteristics of the wine. This rum acquired an exceptional character that was popular in Spain, leading to its production being banned by order of King Philip V to protect local producers.
