The history and production of Opthimus Rum 21 years

In the middle of the 19th century, Juanillo Oliver, of Spanish descent, settled in Cuba and began to grow tobacco and sugar cane there. He made cigars and rum from these basic products and quickly became a respected businessman in the region. During the second war of independence, the Olivers' farm and production facility were burned down by separatists. When independence was achieved, the Olivers began to successfully grow tobacco again. Business went well until the revolution broke out in the country in 1959 and the family was forced to leave Cuba. It was not until the end of the 1980s that a young member of the family returned to Cuba and began to research the family's history.

In the numerous documents he found the original recipes for the rum produced by the family in the 19th century. Spurred on by this, he and other family members decided to bring the Oliver family's rum back to life. The Olivers chose the Dominican Republic as a production location because it has great similarities to Cuba in terms of climate, topography and geology and thus offers the ideal conditions for successful rum production. To guarantee the success of the brand and to ensure the perfect taste of the rum, Cuban emigrated engineers and master blenders were employed. Since 1997, the rum has been marketed under the company name Oliver & Oliver and has caused a sensation on the international rum market with bottlings such as the Opthimus Rum 21 Years. The Opthimus Rum 21 Years is stored for at least 21 years in former bourbon whiskey barrels using the Solera process and then bottled in an attractive bottle.
