Yerba mate tea is an iconic beverage of Argentina, which is why we wanted to include it in our Gran Chaco Argentina rum. For this version of the rum, we drew inspiration from the nature and lush landscapes of Argentina. The patterns on our bottle trace the path of nature, at the heart and source of our production: from the earth, where the rich flora of the Gran Chaco is rooted, to the sky. The design also evokes serenity and the call of the night: through the deep blue of the bottle, it reflects the sun setting behind the mountains and the phases of the moon and sun.

The rum is aged using the solera process for aging spirits, in which barrels containing older spirits are “topped off” and married with younger spirit from other barrels as the angel’s share takes its toll. Afterwards the rums blended are aged again in Single Malt Scotch Whisky oak barrels for at least 6 months. By the time, the rum is bottled. “Rum Cañero Finnished Malt Scotch Whisky” has been created personally by the great RUM MASTER JUAN ALBERTO ALVAREZ, professional with huge experience on the Rum Art, which has been developed among very well known distilleries throughout all Caribbean.
A blend of traditional rums aged for up to 4 years in French oak casks and tuns.
For centuries the stormy waters of the Atlantic Ocean has not only shaped the character of the people of Islay but also the character of their famous whiskies. In many ways this fine malt mirrors the character of Islay people – strong yet gentle, warm yet mellow, but with a maturity beyond its years. Robust peaty, with that unmistakable breath of the seashore.
