The story of Relicario begins with an old reliquary — a decorative chest designed to protect valuable treasures and artifacts. According to the brand’s legend, two bottles of exceptional aged Dominican rum were discovered hidden inside one such reliquary after remaining untouched for years.
Inspired by this remarkable discovery, master blenders sought to recreate the character, complexity, and craftsmanship found within those original bottles. The result was Relicario Rum: a spirit designed to honor Dominican rum traditions while delivering a premium modern drinking experience. Even the elegant bottle design pays tribute to the original reliquary that inspired the brand’s creation.
