Ron Abuelo Anejo 5 Year Old Rum Reserva Especial Panama

All great stories have an inspirational beginning, the same as Añejo has been for Ron Abuelo. It’s our youngest rum, both in age and spirit. Añejo is a fun and enjoyable first impression to our Panamanian rum making tradition. Where all the great stories begin.


Based in Pesé, Panama, Ron Abuelo began life in 1908 as Don José Valera Blanco’s sugar mill — the very first in the newly–formed republic. By 1936, on the advice of his three sons, Don José pivoted the business and began to craft some of the world’s finest aged rums from his sugar cane juice, honey and molasses.

Ron Abuelo’s hacienda is at the heart of Pesé — whose landscape and natural resources creates unique rums. Its luscious, fertile landscape, layered with greenery and steeped in history produces 1,600 hectares of sugar cane each year. True to its heritage, the Ron Abuelo distillery continues to grow, harvest and ferment all the virgin sugar cane needed to produce its range of premium spirits, allowing control over the rum–making process from cane to case.

Tradition and the insights shared by previous generations are all–important to the brand. Never ones to stand still — the family continues to innovate and create with the dedication, patience and attention to detail that comes with true craftsmanship. This third–generation family–owned distillery — now the leading producer of distilled spirits in Panama — has been inspiring generations ever since.

The perfect pour for cocktails and mixed drinks

A light rum in colour and flavour – this Reserva Especial has toasted, fruity notes with mild hints of banana, fresh herbs and an apricot aroma. The flavour profile includes wood and caramelised notes with a crisp, light, smoky finish.
