Havana Club
A new chapter in Havana Club’s story
The further a brand travels, the more it has to remember its roots.
After 25 years of global success, Havana Club, one of the world's most iconic rum brands, had lost its Cuban accent, and it no longer spoke with confidence - anywhere.
It was time to bring clarity back to this growing portfolio. That called for a stronger identity. An ownable identity. One that could bring every expression together, and capture the individuality of each rum, all with a premium visual language that would breathe new life back into Havana Club.
The answer, of course, lay in Cuba. We took the brand back to its roots - a place rich in culture, heritage and unmistakable verve. Working with Cuban artists, we blended two core Cuban aesthetics – 19th century cigar art and screen printing to bring the island’s unique exuberance and premium craft together.
We began with Havana Club 7, before extending across the portfolio through a new brand vision, architecture and visual identity.
We also introduced Iconica, a prestige tier that strengthened Havana Club's position in luxury sipping rums while elevating Havana Club as a whole.
The result is a spirit born from an authentic spirit. More expressive. More connected. More Cuban.
A brand rooted in identity, strong global presence and a story that only Havana Club can tell.
