Ron San Pablo is perhaps the most famous rum from Curaçao. It has been known for excellence since it started in 1945. This rum tells a story of passion and skill. It is closely linked with the island's character and history. The story starts with Sr Justo Gonzalez in Cuba, he made the first Ron San Pablo (gold) blend. At the same time, in Curaçao's Brionplein, Otrobanda, August Damian Jonckheer (A.D.) sold shoes from his garage. Their paths met, and Ron San Pablo began to be exported to Curaçao. Under A.D. Jonckheer, Ron San Pablo had a golden era. It became the island's most famous rum. They then brought out the Reserva 1945 collection. This includes some of the best rums from around the world. Following a recipe kept safe for over 60 years, the collection has rums aged at least eight years. They are blended and settled for perfect balance.
The flagship Reserva 1945 collection offers aged rums with deep complexity. The 8-Year-Old balances banana leaves and honey with caramel sweetness. The 12-Year-Old adds dried fruits and vanilla for a honeyed finish. The 15-Year-Old introduces tropical fruit and chocolate notes for a richer profile. Other highlights include the light and smooth Añejo, the versatile Gold, and Platinum White, beloved for its clove and cane sap tones.
