Taino Rums

Ron Taino Gran Añejo comes from the Dominican Republic. The rum is aged for five years in bourbon barrels. The producers found inspiration for the name in South American history and mythology. The Taino were the original indigenous culture living in what is now the Dominican Republic.

The name of the rum is inspired by the first settlers of the island of Hispaniola, on whose territory the Dominican Republic and Haiti are now located. When Christopher Columbus arrived here in 1492, he mistakenly believed that he had reached India. In fact, he discovered America and met the local indigenous culture, the Taino. They inhabited not only Hispaniola, but also other Caribbean islands - the Antilles and Cuba.

The bottle label depicts Atabey, the mother of all Taino and one of the supreme beings in Taino mythology. She was worshiped as the Earth, the embodiment of nature and fertility. This female entity also represents the patroness of all waters – lakes, streams and seas, guardian of the tides. No wonder she was worshiped by the Taino and was one of the most important deities.
