House of Rum Panama 2004. Today we are returning to Central America courtesy of House of Rum with a bottling sourced from Varela Hermanos Distillery. Rather than the mythical Las Cabras Distillery of Don Pancho fame.
Varela Hermanos is known as much for exporting bulk rum to the main Rum brokers around the world, as it is for its flagship brand Ron Abuelo. In all fairness the “Spanish” style of rum is not something that I enthuse about much on the blog. This is as much in part due to the “fairy tales” and denial of additives, as it is the quality of the actual rum.
