This rum is aged for 7 years in American white oak barrels that have previously contained bourbon, giving it rich, complex aromas. The production process begins with the selection of the best varieties of sugar cane, followed by high-quality fermentation and distillation processes. The rum is then aged using the traditional Solera method, which allows its unique flavours to develop.

On the palate, it is beautifully fresh, with woody, toasty flavours and a short, woody finish of caramel and sweet spices. This rum is halfway between the drier 'agricultural' tasting rums and the sweeter molasses rums, characterised by aromas of caramel, vanilla and coconut.

The Varela Hermanos distillery, founded in 1908 by Don José Varela Blanco, is Panama's largest rum producer. The Varela Hermanos family owns more than 1,200 hectares of sugar cane and exports its rums to more than 35 countries. Abuelo rum is recommended by many experts and opinion leaders in the sector, and each production begins with the selection of the best raw materials, diluted in pure water, with the addition of selected yeasts and special nutrients to encourage proper development. The fermentation process takes between 36 and 48 hours, producing 400,000 litres of molasses wine and sugarcane honey a day. The molasses wine is then distilled in columns specially produced for Varela Hermanos, producing pure alcohol. Varela Hermanos' distillation capacity varies between 60,000 and 80,000 litres of fresh brandy. Ageing then takes place in 200-litre American oak barrels, selected for their quality and used only once by the famous brands of bourbon.
