Guided by the passion of two visionaries, “Malecon Rum” is named after a legendary street in the heart of Havana where the secret recipe for this award-winning Rum originates. It begins with the finest Panamanian sugar cane harvested, fermented and aged in the finest oak barrels. The process takes many years and cannot be rushed. The result, over time, is an aged Rum with remarkable taste.

In 1814, Paris was occupied by Russian soldiers. Prohibited from drinking in bars, the soldiers were served Vodka when they would ask for a quick drink – “быстро” or “bistro” in Russian – and so the “Bistrots” were born. With French craftsmanship at its core, Bistro Vodka offers the authenticity and simplicity of a Parisian “Bistrot”. A fine and crisp spirit with a punch of finesse.
