The Panama Rum “Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish” 15 Years Abuelo by Varela Hermanos comes from a long 15-year maturation in American oak barrels, followed by an exclusive finish in Oloroso Sherry casks that imparts distinct notes of nuts and fruit. It stands out for its deep amber color and complex aroma of dark fruit, nuts, raisins, and tobacco, with elegant hints of dark chocolate. On the palate, it offers harmony between sherry, dried fruit, vanilla, and a touch of cinnamon, while the finish is long, sweet, and spicy, with woody nuances. Perfect to enjoy neat or as a base for refined cocktails, it is a rum of character and tradition, dedicated to connoisseurs and collectors who appreciate the refined culture of Panamanian rum.

Abuelo

Varela Hermanos S.A. embodies the heritage and excellence of Panamanian rum, born from the vision of Don José Varela Blanco, a young Spanish immigrant who, in 1908, chose the newly founded Republic of Panama as his land of opportunity. In a region where sugarcane cultivation was the cornerstone of agriculture, Varela established the country’s first sugar mill, giving life to a tradition that still represents quality, authenticity, and craftsmanship.
In 1936, the company began distilling sugarcane, transforming agricultural expertise into the art of fine spirits production. Since then, Varela Hermanos S.A. has become the leading distillery in Panama, blending traditional methods with innovation. With over 1,200 hectares of plantations and a production capacity of 75,000 tons of sugarcane per year, the company employs 800 people, overseeing every stage from harvest to bottling of the renowned Panamanian rums.
Today, Varela Hermanos produces over one million cases annually, exporting the authentic taste of Panama across the globe. Each bottle tells a story of passion, land, and tradition. Discover the exclusive selection on Vino45, where the excellence of Panama’s finest rum meets the world’s most distinguished international spirits.
