Ron Cristobal
"Cristóbal" is simply the Spanish form of Christopher - a tribute to Cristóbal Colón, as Christopher Columbus is known in the Spanish-speaking world. Fittingly, the individual bottlings in the series are named after his three ships from 1492: Pinta, Niña and Santa María. Developed by Danish spirits importer 1423 - the same company behind the single-cask S.B.S. series - Ron Cristobal matures in the tropical climate of the Dominican Republic in American white oak barrels, combining European exploration history with Caribbean rum tradition.
