Black Tears Spiced Rum

Black Tears is a spiced rum craft brand that stands out as the first spiced spirit drink of its kind to be produced and exported from Cuba. It is crafted utilizing premium Cuban dry rum from the region of Ciego de Ávila and is infused with traditional Cuban flavors including coffee, cocoa, and ‘aji dulce’ süeet peppers. The product is marketed specifically as a contemporary alternative to traditional intense dark rums, focusing on a drier, more complex flavor profile suitable for modern mixology.

The brand is managed and distributed globally through a joint venture between the Cuban state and international partners. Specifically, it is part of the portfolio of Island Rum Brands SL, a company based in Barcelona, Spain, which operates in partnership with the state-owned Cuban spirit producer. This unique collaboration ensures that while the spirit is distilled and aged using traditional Cuban methods on the island, its branding and international distribution are managed through European commercial channels.
