Autentico Nativo 20YO 40% 0,7l

Auténtico Nativo is a rum brand from Panama, specifically from the province of Herrera, where conditions are very favorable for growing sugar cane — the volcanic soil is rich in minerals, which gives the cane a high sugar content. The heart of the production of Auténtico Nativo is the Las Cabras distillery, which has an interesting history. It was originally built in 1919 as a sugar refinery. In the mid-1990s, Francisco “Don Pancho” Fernández and Carlos Esquivel discovered it in a neglected state — under the overgrown grass they found a copper distillation system, a medallion indicating that the column dates from 1922 (“Cincinnati 1922”). Don Pancho brought his extensive experience from Cuba to Panama: he previously worked for decades as a master blender and distiller, including work with Havana Club.

Auténtico Nativo 20 Y.O. is a distinctive, elegant and complex rum that represents both the history of Panama and the Las Cabras distillery - a connection to the column distillation since 1922, and the legacy of Don Pancho Fernández, a significant figure in the rum world, a careful aging process in which bourbon barrels add rich woody notes as well as balance and depth of flavors. It is designed for connoisseur rum lovers who appreciate slow, meditative drinking, and for those seeking a rum with a strong history and character.
