About Zafra Rum
Located in the province of Herrera, Panama, famous for its sugar cane fields and mineral-rich volcanic soil, the origins of Las Cabras Distillery date back to 1919 when it was a sugar mill. Rediscovered in the mid-1990's by Francisco Jose Fernando Perez or "Don Pancho" and Carlos Esquivel, the CEO of Proveedora Internacional de LIcores, S.A. (PILSA), who uncovered the neglected copper column stills with a small medallion inscribed with the words ‘Cincinnati 1922’. Today, this is a modern rum production plant with five columns, distilling rum from molasses that are fermented with a strain of pineapple yeast. Using similar methods of barrel aging and blending to Cuban style of rum, Las Cabras Distillery produces its own brands, among them Caña Brava Rum and Zafra.
Soft, inviting bourbon notes of tart cherries on the nose and palate, blackberries, grapes, a flash of port, sweet corn, and vanilla flow into a smooth molasses finish.
