Montecristo Rum is “agricultural rum” made from all natural, hand-harvested, pure sugarcane juice, not molasses.

It is remarkably smooth, the result of Montecristo’s unique aging process, which uses American oak bourbon barrels.

Montecristo Rum is a premium spirit obtained by distilling fermented sugarcane juice, a by-product of sugar. Montecristo Rum production begins with the harvesting of sugarcane. When harvesting time arrives, the stalks are cut close to the ground by hand with a sharp machete or with a cane-cutting machine. The leaves are removed in the fields and the stalks are transported to the distillery or sugar mill to be processed. The sugar-laden center pulps of the cane known as “bagasse” are crushed between rollers to extract the pure sugarcane juice.

Only the World’s finest distillers masterfully blend and barrel age rum with pure sugarcane juice. This is the case with all Montecristo premium rums.
