Progress Rum is the brainchild of brothers Anthony and Jesus Costa, first-generation Americans raised in the vibrant city of Hialeah, Florida. Known as ‘The City of Progress’, Hialeah has been a beacon of hope for Cuban immigrants seeking refuge from the deteriorating living conditions on the island. This unique city has now become a home to the largest population of Cubans outside of Cuba.
In tribute to their Cuban heritage and the unique culture of Hialeah, Anthony and Jesus crafted a spirit brand that weaves together the two. Progress Rum is more than just a beverage for the Costa brothers; it is a narrative, a celebration of the fusion of their Cuban and American roots. Every drop of this distinctive blend tells a story of resilience, diversity, and progress. Each blend is crafted with a unique combination of Spanish and English-style rums, embodying the fusion of their two cultures.
Anthony is a passionate Chemical Engineer and Rummelier, recognized by the Royal Rum Society as the youngest Rummelier ever at the age of 26. He specializes in blending different rum styles together to create unique flavor profiles and is committed to keeping his rum blends free of unnecessary additives, such as coloring and sweeteners. With the release of these two highly regarded rums, Anthony aims to establish Progress Rum as a renowned, high-quality rum brand that promises to captivate the taste buds of rum aficionados around the world.
Jesus Costa is a finance major with a thirst for entrepreneurship and a deep appreciation for his Hispanic-American heritage. As a finance major, he’s spent years navigating the intricacies of numbers and strategies. Today he is thrilled to embark on a journey that blends his financial acumen with his cultural roots – the launch of Progress Rum, a unique rum blend that encapsulates the rich tapestry of his background.
