Black Tears Cuban Spiced

This is the original version of Black Tears, a Cuban spiced rum marketed by The Island Rum Company using spirit distilled by AzCuba at its Heriberto Duquesne Central distillery.

The packaging was refreshed with a new design in 2019 following the creation of Ron Vigia SA, a formal 50:50 business partnership between AzCuba and The Island Rum Company.
