The 5th Leaf – Cuban Soul

A new exciting collab begins: where rum meets ritual...

Distilia & Rare Cigars House, present the inaugural release in their partnership: Cuban Rum 1992 | 31 Years Old | Single Cask #622 inspired by the rarest expression in tobacco: Medio Tiempo, the elusive “fifth leaf.”

Just as this leaf appears only under perfect natural conditions, this rum is the result of time, patience, and extraordinary circumstances coming together.

Distilled in 1992 and matured for over 31 years under the Caribbean sun, this Cuban rum was aged in a Sherry cask, developing a profile of remarkable depth and intensity. Bottled at 60.9% cask strength, uncut and unfiltered, it remains a pure and uncompromising expression of its origin.

This is not just long-aged Cuban rum - it is a rare intersection of heritage and selection.

The profile is dark, rich, and layered.
Notes of dried fruits, deep molasses, and polished wood intertwine with subtle sweetness and spice, creating a structure that is both powerful and refined. Each sip reveals new dimensions - dense yet balanced, intense yet composed.

With only 263 bottles released, Cuban Soul stands at the pinnacle of collectible rum - a natural companion to the finest cigars and a true celebration of Cuban craftsmanship.

For collectors, cigar aficionados, and those who seek more than just a bottle -
this is a piece of culture worth securing.

Calvados Domfrontais 1993 C.L.D.L, The third chapter of The Virtues series

Diligence is a release that turns toward patience, perseverance, and the quiet strength behind truly great spirits.

This is not a bottle that seeks attention.
It earns it - slowly, over time.

Distilled in 1993 and matured for 31 years, this Calvados originates from the historic cellar of Comte Louis de Lauriston - a place that played a defining role in preserving the diversity of traditional Domfrontais production. At a time when small-scale farmer distillations were at risk of disappearing, Lauriston’s vision and relentless dedication ensured their survival.

Crafted from 60% pear and 40% apple and distilled in a column still, this spirit reflects the unmistakable character of the Domfrontais style - structured, aromatic, and deeply expressive.

With only 183 bottles released, Diligence embodies what defines The Virtues series: not only exceptional liquid, but a deeper narrative - where time, place, and human dedication converge.

For collectors, Calvados enthusiasts, and those who value spirits with both substance and story - this is a release worth securing.
