An exceptional Panamanian rum with double aging
Abuelo: a century-old family distillery from Panama
Founded in 1908 by Don José Varela Blanco, Abuelo remains owned by the Varela family through Varela Hermanos SA. This historic distillery in Pesé produces nearly 90% of Panama’s rum from 1,200 hectares of manually harvested sugarcane. As the country’s only active distillery, it uses a distillation system with 4 continuous columns and offers remarkable bottlings such as Two Oaks, aged for 12 years and finished in re-toasted casks. Distributed in 50 countries, this century-old brand combines family tradition with modern techniques, carrying forward the legacy of Panamanian rum with excellence.
Two Oaks: the art of double aging
The 12 Years Two Oaks takes its name from its unique aging process, which uses two types of oak. This rum first benefits from an initial aging of 11 years and 3 months in American white oak casks, followed by a 9-month finish in re-toasted ex-bourbon barrels. This double-aging method gives the spirit its distinctive smoky character and exceptional aromatic complexity. Bottled at 40% ABV, this 70 cl rum embodies the excellence of the Abuelo distillery and showcases Panama’s expertise in the art of aging.
