Panama Pacifico Rum is a molasses-derived rum made at the San Carlos distillery in the Provincia de Herrera region of Panamá. Panamá’s year- round hot and humid climate of an average 35° C (95° F) is the perfect environment for our rum to mature under the careful supervision of our always-attentive quality control team. We bottle no rum until it has entirely achieved the stated age. Panamá-Pacific’s age statement reflects the youngest rum in the blend, not just a portion of it.
