A rum producer that presents Panamanian rum at its best. Cueva 1501 Panama is one of the finest that comes from the small central American country in the form of liquid gold. Top quality American ex-bourbon casks, along with a complex distillate, which gives the patient a bang of a dram made on sugar cane molasses.

Specially selected barrels that show complexity, spice, and balance, which are the most important for Cueva 1501.

Cueva 1501 is made from 100% sugar cane molasses in the Spanish style. Panama is an ideal place to plant sugar cane, which provides a high-quality juice, which later becomes the divine drink, rum.

The sugar cane molasses is carefully fermented in the humid Panamanian climate. After a temperature-monitored fermentation, the low-alcoholic cane molasses liquid is now distilled. This is done under the strict supervision of the distillery’s master distiller, who makes sure that the whole process goes according to plan, to achieve the highest quality spirits. The finished distilled rum is then laid to rest in American white oak, ex. bourbon whiskey fade. Here the rum is stored in the solera system, under constant supervision of the distillery’s master blender. A man who possibly has the best job in the world, as he has to quality test the rum all year round, to finally be able to say “Now it is ready for blending and bottling”.

Rum blending is truly an art! A rum that combines tradition and history with modern technology.
