In 2018, Ljubo couldn't resist the miracle of multiplication. After wine, beer, late-harvest, and cachaça, he decided to create his first rum. Refugees is the name of the blend created by Ljubomir Stanisic, aged for 2 years in the warehouses of Licores Serrano, in the Serra da Estrela mountains. Made from sugarcane – originally from Syria, in ancient Persia – it migrated along the Mediterranean Sea to southern Spain, where it is distilled, and finally arrived in Portugal where it found refuge, a safe haven. After aging in French oak barrels, which had previously held whiskey, Portuguese cherry liqueur, and Douro wine, Refugees Rum was born.
A story told in bottles, all numbered and illustrated by Mário Belém with images that evoke the Middle East. A story with a mission that particularly touched the chef, born in Sarajevo: to support refugees, to contribute to the possibility of a happier ending, and part of the sales proceeds was donated to JRS – Jesuit Refugee Service –, an institution that welcomes and supports refugees in Portugal.
