Some years later, in 1940, a special lot of the purest Cuban rum was imported and aged in American oak casks to be further established into a very old and limited solera.

The origin of this distillate is the first batch of Cuban rum imported by Valdespino in 1940, which was established into a limited Solera. Over decades this Solera has been topped up with selected Panama (70%) and Dominican Republic (30%) rums.
