According to one of the most popular legends of Santiago de Cuba, the birthplace of Cuban light rum and the city where “Paticruzao” was created, the last years of the 19th century passed when the market placed Bacardi Rum as one of the main competitors.
This scenario caused its counterpart, the vintage firm Matusalem, a drop in revenue, especially when the Bacardi emporium also sold, and at only 0.35 cents, another variety of rum of a category lower than its maximum exponent but without much choice to envy.
We're talking about Ron Palmitas. Against this backdrop, Matusalem's then-owner called upon a resource that would ultimately, as his grandfather predicted, in a pinch, would be the company's saving grace. According to a family secret, passed down through different generations, behind a wall of an old factory office there are "vats" (a sort of barrels) made from sui generis characteristic rum. Once the wall was demolished and the find was revealed... the "taster" on duty tasted the formula, bequeathing part of the name of the drink to posterity when he said: (...) This most pinto paticruza! (…) They also say that Palmas Rum Los Marinos Paticruzado (official name today) was specially designed for sailors, a social sector that at the time often could not buy the rums produced by Bacardí or the aging Matusalem, widely distributed in the market for its quality but with prices that were inaccessible to them.
With an amber, clear, shiny, transparent appearance; slightly perceptible taste and smell of its aged note with a degree of 38° and a volume of 70 Cl.
