RonAbuelo7AñosReservaSuperiorRum(700mL)

<p>A delicious Panamanian Rum with a toffee-like flavor profile and a lightly dry finish. </p><p>The history of <em>Varela Hermanos Distillery </em>dates back to 1908 when <em>Don José Varela Blanco</em> — a young Spanish immigrant — founded the first sugar mill in the little town of Pesé. Pesé is located on a fertile valley in the center of Panama and most of its 10,000 citizens cultivate and grow sugarcane. In <em>1936</em>, his three sons — <em>José Manuel, Plinio, and Julio </em>— convinced Don José to start distillation, and Ron Abuelo Rum was born.</p><p>“Ron Abuelo” translates roughly as <em>“Rum of our Grandfather,”</em> and yes, that’s pretty cool. There is no official designation for Rums like this, but since Ron Abuelo controls every aspect of production — from growing their own cane through bottling — you could call it an <em>estate Rum. </em>They are still independent (God bless ‘em) and produce a range of delicious Rums of the highest quality.</p><p>When you read through the comments and reviews of Ron Abuelo Rums it’s common to see statements like <em>“a great Rum for Whiskey fans.”</em> That’s because they treat Rum like a distillery in Scotland treats Single Malts — allowing the Spirit to age naturally, undisturbed in ex-Bourbon casks. <em>Ron Abuelo 7 Años Reserva Superior Rum</em> fulfills that vision for seven full years of maturation on site in the Bride of the World.</p>
