El Ron Prohibido Reserve 22 Year Old

Around the year 1700, Spanish ships arrived at the new continent loaded with products from the peninsula and holds full of casks containing sultana wine, which was unloaded in New Spain.

In order not to return empty, those barrels containing leftover beverages were filled with "Chinguirito" rum, a sugar cane brandy, a product made in Mexico.

However, on the return journey it received the gifts of the wood and on its arrival in Spain it had exquisite characteristics, which is why it began to be so popular among the Spaniards.

This fact caused it to be seen as a threat to the country's beverages; the King finally decided to prohibit the production of this drink, also called "Habanero".

It received this name because Havana was the last port that ships touched before returning to Spain, and this is how the original recipe for Ron Prohibido 12 and Ron Prohibido XV Gran Reserva Selecta of 15 casks was born.

At the end of the 18th century, royal permission was granted for the production of Mexican white rum "Chinguirito" as one of the main sources of income for the Spanish crown during its war against England.

Three centuries after the prohibition, the royal order of 19 March 1796 allowed its production, sale and consumption. Consequently, from that time onwards, Silver Rum would be used as a remedy for all kinds of ailments.
