Ron Caney contains all the tradition of Ron Ligero, a rum with years of ageing in white oak barrels, defined by the writers, “the colour of bottled sunshine.” It is considered the most proud member of that Ron Ligero which, created by Facundo Bacardi in his distillery in Santiago de Cuba in 1862, was the first rum to undergo an ageing process.

With the coming of the Cuban revolution in 1959 and the nationalization of all the factories, including the distillery in Santiago, Bacardi decided to emigrate to the United States believing that the tradition “ronera” in Cuba would cease without them.

But the the story doesn’t go like this. The distillery with all its barrels and, above all, the “maestros Roneros” remained in Cuba, and three years later, in 1962, the brand Ron Caney was officially born and has become “el ron de la Revolución.”

Ron Caney has been produced for 150 years , bottled and aged in the same barrels and in the same distillery in Santiago de Cuba, thus continuing a centuries-old tradition in always different social and political contexts.

The sugarcane grown in the land of Santiago, the secrets related to the production of rum, the history and culture of the city of Santiago de Cuba, the “priceless school of the Roneros Maestros”, all confer to Ron Caney its quality and its well-earned international prestige .

The same care and the unchanged old recipe, the authentic tradition of the “Maestros Roneros” handed down over the years, have brought Ron Caney to remain unchanged and unaware of the passing of time, its own style one of its kind.
