The Panama Rum “Tawny Port Cask Finish” 15 Years Abuelo from the Varela Hermanos distillery is the result of a meticulous production process, with 14 years of aging in American oak barrels followed by an additional year in Tawny Port casks. A refined, intense, and expressive spirit that captivates from the first sip, confirming Abuelo’s excellence. Visually, it shows an amber color with copper highlights, while the nose reveals a concentrated bouquet of spices, dried fruit, leather, and light Port notes. On the palate, it is smooth, enveloping, and elegant, with a long and velvety finish. Notes of dried figs, honey, and dark chocolate intertwine with shades of vanilla and oak, creating a perfect balance. Ideal neat or paired with chocolate desserts and aged cheeses, it enhances the refinement of the Panamanian terroir.

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.
