A family history and preserved Cuban heritage
The QUORHUM adventure began in 1870 in Cuba, when Juanillo Oliver, originally from Spain, founded a company specializing in the production of high-quality rum and cigars. For nearly a century, the Oliver family perfected their art, becoming a benchmark in the Cuban industry. However, the Cuban revolution of 1959 marked a turning point: the family left Cuba to settle in the Dominican Republic, where they restarted production in 1963 in the province of Santo Domingo. This is where QUORHUM was born, a rum that perpetuates the Cuban heritage while enriching itself with the Dominican terroir and climate.
Today, Oliver & Oliver is a family business run by the fourth generation, which continues to produce artisanal, high-end, limited-edition rums. The distillery relies on traditional methods, meticulous aging, and rigorous barrel selection to create rums of exceptional quality, acclaimed by experts around the world.
Artisanal expertise and unique production methods
QUORHUM stands out for its artisanal and meticulous approach, where each stage of production is designed to enhance the natural aromas of sugar cane and the Dominican terroir.
Controlled distillation and aging
QUORHUM rums are made from Dominican sugar cane molasses, distilled in copper stills according to family recipes handed down since the 19th century. Aging takes place in American and European oak barrels, carefully selected for their ability to impart notes of vanilla, caramel, dried fruit, and sweet spices. Some rums, such as QUORHUM 30 Aniversario, are finished in port barrels, adding a touch of red fruit and grape to their aromatic profile.
The distillery also uses the solera method, a dynamic aging system where rums of different ages are blended to create balanced and complex expressions. This technique, combined with an ideal tropical climate, results in rums of rare smoothness and depth.
