The Story Behind Ron Cueva
At Ron Cueva, we believe every sip should tell a story—a story of heritage, craftsmanship, and dreams brought to life. Ours is not just the story of a rum; it’s a story of family, bound by passion, resilience, and the courage to dream big.
For over three decades, two brothers, Michael and Kenneth, lived separate lives, following different paths in distant corners of their home country. But destiny reunited them during their father’s final days—a poignant moment that rekindled their shared dreams. From that reunion, a vision was born: to create something extraordinary that would honor their heritage, celebrate their family, and inspire others to pursue their dreams.
Crafting Dreams, Bottling Elegance
Ron Cueva is more than a premium rum; it’s a celebration of family bonds, heritage, and dreams that define us. Every element—from the meticulously crafted rum to the elegant bottle design—has been a family effort. With the incredible creativity and support of Anette Ranzau, Michael’s wife, this vision came to life. Her ideas shaped the bottles, packaging, and logos, infusing every detail with meaning and elegance.
The fusion of Panama’s vibrant rum-making tradition and Denmark’s globally renowned design principles lies at the heart of Ron Cueva. The artistry of Panamanian craftsmanship is reflected in the complex, bold flavors of our rums, while the sleek, minimalist elegance of Danish design graces our bottles and packaging. This harmonious balance ensures that Ron Cueva embodies both refinement and innovation, captivating not just the palate but the eye as well.
Inspired by the Rich History of Panama
Ron Cueva captures the essence of this remarkable land. From the Chagres River, which turned the dream of connecting two oceans into reality, to the timeless allure of Casco Viejo and the natural splendor of Las Perlas and Azuero, every bottle is a tribute to the dreams that shape our world. The majestic Harpy Eagle—Panama’s national bird and a symbol of strength and elegance—graces our logo, representing the soaring aspirations and resilience behind every creation.
