SANTO DOMINGO March 23 — Rum-maker Cesar Marti says that even after 20 years he feels the same pleasure each morning entering his distillery in Santo Domingo, Cuba, where he is preserving a century-old tradition recently added to Unesco’s intangible cultural heritage list.
“It is here that the oldest rums and spirits in the centre of Cuba relax patiently,” Marti said proudly, showing off the American oak barrels where alcoholic beverages have been matured naturally, some for as long as seven decades. Cuban rum master Cesar Marti , with his trainee Mitehel Niebla, tests the smells of one of the rums he makes during an interview with AFP at the Central Rum Factory in the town of Santo Domingo, Villa Clara Province, some 270 kilometres southeast of Havana, Cuba, on March 8, 2023.— AFP pic
As part of his apprenticeship, Niebla is currently concentrating on “the cultural part, the history of Cuban rum.”Marti says that the role of a rum master is to “assimilate, with humility” the techniques, history, and sensorial diversity of liquors bequeathed by predecessors and “to be generous so that others are able to continue transmitting” this heritage in the future.
