Production method
Blending of distilled wines of different ages via the solera process; some expressions report the use of continuous column distillation, while other references (e.g., silver versions) indicate combined use of columns and pot stills and triple distillation. The practice of adding components derived from passito wine/withering grapes during blending is also reported.
Distillation
Continuous column (reported for the Solera expressions); some versions also indicate use of columns and pot stills with triple distillation.
Ageing
Solera (blending of rums of different ages using the solera system).
Producer history Prohibido Ron
The brand narrative recalls an 18th-century historical episode linked to the so-called 'hibanero' or 'chinguirito' — a Mexican rum that was once prohibited in favor of Spanish spirits. The modern brand draws on this story and markets solera-aged rums, imported and distributed across various international markets.
Production philosophy
To rediscover and valorize historical solera ageing techniques, combining blends of rums of different ages and finishing in barrels that impart sweet-and-sour notes (in particular barrels previously used for passito wine).
Territory
Mexico (production and bottling attributed to Cervecera Mexicana, with international commercialization through distributors/importers in Europe such as Sierra Madre).
Awards and recognitions
Double Gold - San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2016 (recognized for the El Ron Prohibido Habanero 15YO expression).
