See the world through a pink-glitter Pina Colada glass.

Selva Rey is a Single-Estate Rum from Panama with serious control-freak tendencies. Since that means having a perfect grip on the quality, the harvest-to-bottling mentality seems to be paying off. Excellence doesn’t just happen, either.

Don Pancha, Maestro Ronero of Salva Rey developed his ‘nariz dorada’ or ‘a golden nose’ during his 35-years-long journey of making premium Cuban Rum. Now all of the knowledge is poured lovingly into transforming Panamanian sugar cane into art. The fieldwork is carefully planned to protect the workers and meticulously executed to ensure a superior spirit. The taste is in the details from the first-press molasses to 1922 antique copper column stills. It takes passion, but it’s compassion that gets overlooked.

The Coconut Rum expression takes a beloved but slightly boring flavor to bring its sexy back. Coco gets his groove back by enriching the 2-years-old premium rum with creamy coconut. Voila! We’re left with a silky, 30% ABV expression with an exotic appeal.
