Product description
The history of Flor de Caña dates back to 1890, when the Italian entrepreneur Alfredo Francisco Pellas Canessa from Genoa decided to settle in Nicaragua and establish a rum factory there.
The Flor de Caña distillery grew up at the foot of the highest and most active volcano, San Cristóbal. According to the producer, the fertile volcanic soil and microclimate created near the volcano had - and still have - a significant impact on the quality of the sugar cane grown there, and consequently, the quality of the local rum. Today, Flor de Caña, a distillery that prides itself on its unparalleled care for the environment, is still in the hands of the descendants of its founder. The distillery uses 100% renewable energy, is certified carbon neutral and Fair Trade. No sugar or artificial additives are added to the production of rum. Distillation takes place in an extremely efficient five-column still. The distillate matures in small, 180-litre oak barrels in the tropical climate at the foot of the volcano. Flor de Caña Eco 15 is a rum aged for 15 years in oak barrels, produced without a carbon footprint, certified Fair Trade, distilled using only renewable energy, certified Kosher. The packaging, label and bottle are made entirely from recycled materials.
