All you need is this Rum and a palm tree.

Parce Rums are billed as being from Colombia. They have indeed fired up a small scale distillery in Bogota, but still need the production facilities in nearby Panama to do some of the heavy lifting. The Rums are, however, crafted, aged, blended, and bottled in Colombia. It’s a newish operation with deep, old roots. The folks at Parce recruited third generation master blenders Arthur and Brojen Fernandez Domecq to help them assemble the final products which consist of 8 and 12 YO sugarcane based premium Rum spirits.

Parce 12 Year Old Straight Colombian Rum says just about everything that you need to know right there on the label. No artificial colorings or flavoring and naturally aged in oak in the tropical jungles of Colombia. For being such a new entry, they are racking up some impressive awards — six gold medals at the San Francisco World’s Spirits Competition, including Best Aged Rum and Best Rum overall. Not bad.
