Black Tears Aguardiente Cane is a Cuban sugarcane spirit that highlights the authentic character of Cuba’s traditional spirit-making heritage. It is important to classify it correctly: despite its close connection to the Cuban rum tradition, this bottling is an Aguardiente de Caña and not rum. It is made from Cuban sugarcane molasses, which is distilled to produce a clear spirit full of character. The term ‘Aguardiente de Caña’ refers to a sugarcane spirit whose style deliberately remains closer to the original distillate. With this bottling, Black Tears draws on an integral part of the Cuban spirits tradition, combining traditional origins with a modern presentation.


At 40% ABV in a 0.7-litre bottle, Black Tears Aguardiente Cane is clear, straightforward and versatile. Unlike matured Cuban rums, the focus here is not on long cask ageing, but on the unadulterated character of the sugarcane molasses and the distillate. This makes the aguardiente ideal both for enjoying neat and, in particular, for mixing traditional and modern cocktails. Its Cuban origins and the use of a sugarcane base make it an interesting alternative for lovers of Caribbean spirits. Black Tears Aguardiente de Caña thus combines Cuban production traditions, a clean style and a wide range of uses in the bar.

Tasting Note

Colour: Clear.

Black Tears Aguardiente Cane can be served neat or on the rocks, but its distinct sugarcane character makes it particularly well-suited to cocktails. An obvious choice is a Canchánchara with honey and lime, in which aguardiente traditionally plays a central role. It can also be used in Caipirinha-inspired drinks, highballs or other Caribbean cocktails featuring lime and tropical fruits. Food pairings include grilled meat, Cuban dishes and desserts featuring pineapple, lime or other tropical fruits.
