Ron Abuelo Centuria Rum

Based in Pesé, Panama, Ron Abuelo began life in 1908 as Don José Valera Blanco’s sugar mill — the very first in the newly–formed republic. By 1936, on the advice of his three sons, Don José pivoted the business and began to craft some of the world’s finest aged rums from his sugar cane juice, honey and molasses.

Ron Abuelo’s hacienda is at the heart of Pesé — whose landscape and natural resources creates unique rums. Its luscious, fertile landscape, layered with greenery and steeped in history produces 1,600 hectares of sugar cane each year. True to its heritage, the Ron Abuelo distillery continues to grow, harvest and ferment all the virgin sugar cane needed to produce its range of premium spirits, allowing control over the rum–making process from cane to case.

Tradition and the insights shared by previous generations are all–important to the brand. Never ones to stand still — the family continues to innovate and create with the dedication, patience and attention to detail that comes with true craftsmanship.

This third–generation family–owned distillery — now the leading producer of distilled spirits in Panama — has been inspiring generations ever since.

This is an unusual and rare rum blend made in Panama, Ron Abuelo Centuria is aged in Jack Daniel's whiskey barrels in the solera method. Some of the rums are as old as 30 years, and the flavour is astonishingly rich and punchy.
