This particular brand with the buzzing name Summum comes from the Dominican Republic. Behind the brand is the large rum manufactory Oliver & Oliver, a family company from the Dominican Republic with Cuban roots. In the mid-19th century Spaniard Juanillo Oliver founded a plantation for tobacco and sugar cane in Central Cuba. The production of rum and brandy followed very soon. In the Cuban revolutionary turmoil, the family then fled all over the world and only research on family history in the 1980s brought the old recipes to light again. As a result, the family in the Dominican Republic re-founded their company. Although it did not have its own distillery, it now buys rum mostly in Trinidad and Tobago as well as Panama and blends and markets it under its own brand name. Quorhum, Unhiq, Cubaney, Opthimus, Exquisito, and PuntaCana, Cubanacan, Ophyum etc. very successful. They also fill up for other brands and companies such as Atlantico, Vizcaya, Ron Esclavo and said Summum.
