The Chiriquí region, located in the west of Panama, is a hidden gem for rum enthusiasts seeking to explore new flavours and traditions. Bordering Costa Rica and offering a unique tropical climate due to its mountains and beaches, Chiriquí provides ideal conditions for growing sugarcane, the key ingredient for rum. The region's fertile volcanic soils, combined with exceptional biodiversity, allow for the production of sugarcane of rare quality, which translates into the complexity and depth of Chiriquí rums.
Historically, this region is less known than others for rum production, but it is rapidly gaining a reputation thanks to distilleries that innovate while respecting artisanal production methods. Chiriquí rums are distinguished by their fruity aromas, spicy notes, and subtle sweetness. They are often aged in oak barrels, providing them with additional richness and an incomparable finish on the palate. For collectors and cellar managers, Chiriquí rums are treasures to discover, promising to enrich any collection with their distinct character and authentic story.
