Ponche Kuba

Caribbean roots

Founded in 1942 by Caribbean merchant Don Jaime A. J. Sprock, Ponche Kuba was inspired by traditional homemade cream liqueurs known as “Ponches”. By selecting the finest local ingredients, he crafted his own distinct and refined recipe.

Mount Gay savoir-faire

Ponche Kuba is crafted by Mount Gay Distilleries, the world's oldest running rum distillery. Based in Barbados, Ponche Kuba benefits from Mount Gay’s expertise in rum production, resulting in a wonderful creamy and balanced drink, with a sweet and lightly spice aroma. Bottled at 9% ABV, it is versatile enough to be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as the base for indulgent cocktails, including Bajan Cream and Kuba Colada.

A modern Caribbean identity

The new label blends native Caribbean botanical elements with the brand’s bold signature red, refreshed with contemporary design cues. The result is a vibrant, festive aesthetic that captures the proud, passionate melting-pot culture of the Caribbean.

Sustainability at the core

The bottle achieves an 80g weight reduction (from 630g to 550g), resulting in a significant 24.4% decrease in CO₂ emissions per case (from 13.6kg to 10.3kg CO₂eq/cstd).

Celebrating togetherness

For over 70 years, Ponche Kuba has embodied Caribbean heritage and convivial spirit with its sweet, smooth, and creamy taste. Still crafted with a time-honoured process at Mount Gay Distilleries in Barbados, it continues to bring people together in celebration.
