ABOUT DON PANCHO

Francisco “Don Pancho” Fernandez is, quite simply, the most respected rum expert in the world. Instrumental in running the Cuban rum industry for decades, his expertise in rum production is widely known and respected. After modernizing the rum industry in Cuba, Don Pancho relocated to Panama in the early 1990s, where he continued to follow his passion for producing rum under multiple brand names. But it wasn’t until he acquired Panama’s historic Las Cabras Distillery in 2000 with partner Carlos Esquivel that Don Pancho put his own name on a rum. The Don Pancho Origenes brand offers four expressions of super-premium rum made from estate-grown, hand-harvested sugar cane and proprietary yeast and made in the time-honored Cuban tradition. The rums, distilled in copper column stills and aged in Panama’s tropical climate, are true age-dated, meaning the youngest rum in the 8-Year Old is eight years old, and the same for the eighteen, thirty and thirty-eight-year-old expressions. All Don Pancho offerings set the bar high for rum in terms of maturity, quality and taste.
