Ronrico Rum

Ronrico is a historic rum brand whose name is a portmanteau of the Spanish word for rum ('ron') and the name of its birthplace, Puerto Rico. It was established in the mid-18th century and became the first rum to be produced in Puerto Rico following the repeal of Prohibition in the United States. It gained a reputation for being an authentic, dry island rum that works exceptionally well in classic cocktails like the Cuba Libre and Mojito.

Over the decades, the brand has transitioned through several major spirits conglomerates. While it was originally distilled in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, by the Serrallés family and later managed by Seagram's, it is now part of a global portfolio. Today, the brand is owned by Beam Suntory, a multi-national spirits leader. The production is often sourced from various high-quality Caribbean distilleries to maintain its signature profile, though its heart remains deeply tied to its Puerto Rican heritage.

As of 2026, Ronrico sits within the diverse house of Beam Suntory, which is a subsidiary of the Japanese giant Suntory Holdings. This ownership gives the brand a global distribution network, ensuring that this classic 'Puerto Rican' style rum remains available in markets worldwide. The brand is celebrated for its versatility, offering white, gold, and spiced variants that cater to both home bartenders and professional mixologists.
