| Wine maker notes |
| Authentic, uncompromising, a rum like it was meant to be experienced. No additives, no colorings, no solera system. No Compromises. Senor Francisco “Don Pancho Fernandez has been making rum for five decades. He was instrumental in modernizing Cubas rum industry in the 1970s. After Cubas national brand was acquired, he relocated to Panama, where, in the 1990s, he discovered a neglected distillery in the Herrera region, which he built into the Las Cabras Distillery, one of the most important and revered in the world. While Don Pancho has produced luxury rums for other clients, it is only in the last year that he believed the quality of his aged rums merited putting his own name on them. Don Pancho dates his rums by the age of the youngest rum in the blend, and he personally selects each barrel from his own prized collection, collected over many years. Don Pancho Origenes is produced by the legendary Cuban master rum distiller, Francisco “Don Pancho Fernandez, who is globally recognized as one of the most experienced and respected master blenders in the world, at his Las Cabras Distillery in Panama. The Don Pancho Origenes 30 Year Old has already been garnering significant buzz at Rum Festivals across the globe. |

| Producer |
| Francisco Jose Fernandez Perez “Don Pancho” was born in Cuba more than 76 years ago. 50 of those years were dedicated to learning, researching, developing, and making rum. He learned the tradition of Cuban style rum from his Mentor Ramon Fernandez Corrales, and graduating as a Bioquemist and Microbiologist, at a time where the title “Masterblender” did not existed, he was the head of research and development for the Cuban brands; his input was fundamental during the transformation and upgrading of the Cuban rum Industry in the 70’s. After establishing in Panama where he found love and the perfect condition to grow the sugarcane the way it was done in his homeland, he started to produce small batches of aguardiente that later became the Carta Blanca and eventually his aged reserves. For years he collaborated with renowned industries in the development of new brands of rums and in the reformulations of some classic ones without betraying the principles learned years ago. But after fifty years of making rums for his customers, and seeing how diverse the market had become, he felt the call of his origins; with a life devoted to his rums and as one of the depositaries of the Cuban tradition of rum making, respecting every aspect of it, from his distillery in Las Cabras de Pese and in partnership with his longtime friend and business associate Carlos E Esquivel, he envisioned and developed his true and only signature line of rums: Don Pancho Origenes. |
