For over 130 years the Pellas family have presided over one of the world’s greatest rum distilleries: Flor de Cana. The proudly Nicaraguan business have been through a lot in that period to say the very least and have come through it all with a determination to stand the test of time. As a result, they were the world’s first spirit to be Carbon Neutral and Fair Trade certified.

This May we are pleased to host Flor de Cana’s Asia-Pacific Brand Ambassador at our Thorndon store to take us through this superb range of rums and their stories. We will take a look at how the 4 and 12 year olds perform in cocktails (spoiler alert – they’re brilliant), and also taste through the 15, 18 and 25 year old rums.
