The rapid development of rum production in Cuba took place after 1800, when copper alembics - vessels used for distillation - were imported from Europe and when it was discovered that aged rum improves its taste and aroma.

At Rum Museum and in the factory founded in 1878 (the former FCA De Ron Bocoy), you can see all the equipment used in the historical production of Legendario Rum. The two most famous brands of Cuban rums are Bacardi and Havana Club. Bacardi is the oldest, whose owners emigrated from the island after the revolution spread and the new authorities confiscated the property.
